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

objectiveExisting prognostic models for endometrial cancer are short of facility and effective validation. In this study, we aim to develop and validate a novel prognostic model for endometrial cancer based on clinical characteristics.

methodsThe clinical data such as age, BMI (body mass index), FIGO stage, surgical approach, myometrial invasion, grade, lymph node metastasis, pathology and menopause status were collected for constructing and validating the prognostic model from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, respectively. COX regression and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) COX were applied to identify the significant predictors of overall survival (OS) and construct the prognostic model. The discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness of the model were evaluated in both cohorts.

resultsThree hundred and sixty-seven and 286 EC patients were collected for training and validation cohort, respectively. A clinical prognostic model integrating six clinical variables including age, BMI, FIGO stage, surgical approach, myometrial invasion and grade was established. K-M analysis shows a significant difference between the low- and high-risk groups. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC) was 0.775 (95% CI, 0.708 to 0.843) and 0.870 (95% CI, 0.758 to 0.982) for the training and validation cohorts which indicating reliable discrimination. The calibration curve revealed excellent predictive accuracy and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test also verified this. Decision curve analysis (DCA) for the prognostic model indicated that it would add more benefits than either the detect-all-patients scheme or the detect-none scheme. In addition, our model has a superior AUC comparing with any single factor as predicting OS.

conclusionOur predictive model offers a convenient and accurate tool for clinicians to estimate the prognosis of EC patients.
