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

backgroundLeiomyosarcoma (LMS) is one of the most common soft tissue sarcomas. LMS is prone to distant metastasis (DM), and patients with DM have a poor prognosis.

aimIn this study, we investigated the risk factors of DM in LMS patients and the prognostic factors of LMS patients with DM. METHODS AND

resultsLMS patients diagnosed between 2010 and 2016 were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Result (SEER) database. Patients were randomly divided into the training set and validation set. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed, and a nomogram was established. The area under the curve (AUC), calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate the nomogram. Based on the nomogram, a web-based nomogram is established. The univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to assess the prognostic risk factors of LMS patients with DM. Eventually, 2184 patients diagnosed with LMS were enrolled, randomly divided into the training set (n = 1532, 70.14%) and validation set (n = 652, 29.86%). Race, primary site, grade, T stage, and tumor size were correlated with DM incidence in LMS patients. The AUC of the nomogram is 0.715 in training and 0.713 in the validation set. The calibration curve and DCA results showed that the nomogram performed well in predicting the DM risk. A web-based nomogram was established to predict DM's risk in LMS patients (https://wenn23.shinyapps.io/riskoflmsdm/). Epithelioid LMS, in uterus, older age, giant tumor, multiple organ metastasis, without surgery, and chemotherapy had a poor prognosis.

conclusionsThe established web-based nomogram (https://wenn23.shinyapps.io/riskoflmsdm/) is an accurate and personalized tool to predict the risks of LMS developing DM. Advanced age, larger tumor, multiple organ metastasis, epithelioid type, uterine LMS, no surgery, and no chemotherapy were associated with poor prognosis in LMS patients with DM.
