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

backgroundIn cutaneous melanoma (CM), the present methods of lymph node (LN) staging have not sufficiently utilized the prognostic information of metastatic LNs. In this study, we aimed to construct prognostic nomograms based on the number of positive LNs (PLNs) and other clinicopathologic characteristics of CM patients.

methodsTwo prognostic models were constructed in the none/single PLN (PLN

resultsA total of 31,065 CM cases were included in this study. Factors included in the prognostic nomogram for patients in the PLN

conclusionOur nomograms, based on the number of PLNs and other clinicopathologic characteristics, showed good predictive ability for predicting the survival of CM patients.
