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

backgroundThe lung is one of the most common sites of metastasis in gastric cancer. Our study developed two nomograms to achieve individualized prediction of overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients with gastric cancer and lung metastasis (GCLM) to better guide follow-up and planning of subsequent treatment.

methodsWe reviewed data of patients diagnosed with GCLM in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database from 2010 to 2015. The endpoints of the study were the OS and CSS. We used the "caret" package to randomly divide patients into training and validation cohorts in a 7 : 3 ratio. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed using univariate Cox regression analysis to confirm the independent prognostic factors. Afterward, we built the OS and CSS nomograms with the "rms" package. Subsequently, we evaluated the two nomograms through calibration curves, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Finally, two web-based nomograms were built on the basis of effective nomograms.

resultsThe OS analysis included 640 patients, and the results of the multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that grade, chemotherapy, and liver metastasis were independent prognostic factors for patients with GCLM. The CSS analysis included 524 patients, and the results of the multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the independent prognostic factors for patients with GCLM were chemotherapy, liver metastasis, marital status, and tumor site. The ROC curves, calibration curves, and DCA revealed favorable predictive power in the OS and CSS nomograms. We created web-based nomograms for OS (https://zhenghh.shinyapps.io/aclmos/) and CSS (https://zhenghh.shinyapps.io/aslmcss/).

conclusionsWe created two web-based nomograms to predict OS and CSS in patients with GCLM. Both web-based nomograms had satisfactory accuracy and clinical usefulness and may help clinicians make individualized treatment decisions for patients.
