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

backgroundThis study aimed to establish an effective prognostic nomogram for surgery of lung cancer in HIV-infected patients.

methodsThe nomogram is based on a retrospective study of 51 patients who underwent lung cancer surgery at the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center from July 2012 to November 2019. The predictive accuracy and discriminative ability of the nomogram were determined by concordance index (C-index) and calibration curve analysis. Internal validity was assessed using bootstrapping validation.

resultsPredictors contained in the prognostic nomogram included age, CD4+ cell count, surgery method, and pathological stage. The model displayed good discrimination with a C-index of 0.755 (95% CI: 0.715-0.795) and good calibration. A high C-index value of 0.844 was reached after internal validation.

conclusionsThe proposed nomogram may result in more-accurate prognostic predictions for surgery of lung cancer in HIV-infected patients.
