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

backgroundNon-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with ipsilateral pleural dissemination are defined as M1a in the eighth of American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) TNM staging. We aimed to build a nomogram to predict lung cancer specific survival (LCSS) of NSCLC patients with ipsilateral pleural dissemination and to compare the impact of primary tumor resection (PTR) on LCSS among patients with different features.

methodsA total of 3,918 NSCLC patients with ipsilateral pleural dissemination were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. We selected and integrated significant prognostic factors based on competing risk regression to build a nomogram. The model was subjected to internal validation within SEER cohort and external validation with the cohort of 97 patients from Peking University People's Hospital.

conclusionsWe developed a nomogram based on competing risk regression to reliably predict prognosis of NSCLC patients with ipsilateral pleural dissemination and validated this nomogram in an external Chinese cohort. This novel nomogram might be a practical tool for clinicians to anticipate the 1-, 3- and 5-year LCSS for NSCLC patients with pleural dissemination. Subgroup analysis indicated that patients without chemotherapy could get more benefit from PTR. In order to assess the role of PTR in the management of M1a patients more accurately, further prospective study would be urgently required.
