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

objectiveTo explore risk factors and develop a prediction model for ovarian metastasis in endometrial cancer (EC), as well as providing provide a reference for clinical ovarian preservation.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective observational study enrolling 1496 EC patients having received complete staging surgery from Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from 2012 to 2018. These patients were randomly divided into two cohorts: training cohort (n = 1046) and validation cohort (n = 448). A nomogram prediction model was developed based on univariate, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso), and multivariate logistic regression. Then, the nomogram model's performance was evaluated in discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility three aspects.

resultsParametrium invasion, lymph node metastasis, and oviduct metastasis were finally contained in the nomogram prediction model. The AUC of the model in the training cohort was 0.85 compared with 0.72 in the validation cohort. It also behaved well in calibration and had good clinical utility. With a threshold probability of 20% ~ 80%, the nomogram increased the net benefit by 0 ~ 13.6 per 100 patients than surgery for all patients upon validation.

conclusionsWe develop a nomogram with good performances for predicting ovarian metastasis in EC patients, which may help clinicians identify candidate patients appropriate for ovarian preservation in premenopausal EC patients.
