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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesSurgical treatment is still the mainstay of curative therapy for retroperitoneal liposarcoma (RLPS), but often recurs after surgical resection. We aimed to establish a nomogram for postoperative recurrence of RLPS based on the Asian population.

methodsPatients after surgical resection at the South Hospital of Zhongshan Hospital/Shanghai Public Health Clinical Center between August 2011 and December 2020 were included. The enrolled patients are randomly divided into training set and test set according to the ratio of 7:3. Prognostic factors were chosen based on Akaike Information Criterion, and the nomogram was built based on Cox regression and then internally validated through calibration plots and concordance index (C-index).

resultsA total of 447 patients were included. Gender, age, presentation status, organ invasion and FNCLCC grade were used to build nomogram. The calibration plots showed that RFS predicted probabilities are identical to the actual RFS rates. The C-index of the nomogram was 0.703 (95% CI 0.623-0.783) in the training set and 0.695 (95% CI 0.565-0.825) in test set.

conclusionThe nomogram we established can accurately predict postoperative recurrence of RLPS patients for Asian population.
