1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purposeThe aim of this study was to determine the Immunoscore as an independent prognostic factor for cholangiocarcinoma and establish a useful prognostic model for postoperative patients.

methodsThis retrospective study was performed to assess the correlation between the clinicopathological features, tumor immune microenvironment, and prognosis of 76 patients with cholangiocarcinoma. Multivariate analysis was used to identify independent factors significantly associated with local recurrence-free survival (LRFS) and overall survival (OS). Finally, we constructed a nomogram combining the Immunoscore with clinicopathologic features to predict postoperative recurrence and OS.

resultsThe present study showed that immune cell infiltration was negatively correlated with tumor size, peripheral vascular invasion, lymph node metastasis, and tumor staging. Kaplan-Meier curves indicated that a decreased Immunoscore was associated with poor prognosis. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that resection type, number of tumors, lymph node metastasis, TNM staging, and the Immunoscore were significantly associated with LRFS. For OS, the significantly correlated factors included resection type, peripheral vascular invasion, TNM staging, and the Immunoscore. Immunoscore was superior to TNM staging in predicting both LRFS and OS according to the receiver operating characteristic analysis. Based on the results of the Cox regression analysis, a prognostic nomogram for the postoperative recurrence of cholangiocarcinoma and OS of patients was established.

conclusionThe results of this study suggest that the Immunoscore may be used as an independent predictor of postoperative recurrence and OS of patients with cholangiocarcinoma. The Immunoscore appears to offer distinct advantages over the TNM staging system. By combining the Immunoscore and clinicopathological features, the proposed nomogram provides a more accurate predictive tool for postoperative patients with cholangiocarcinoma.
