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

objectiveNomograms are statistics-based predictive tools that integrate predictive factors. Herein, a nomogram was developed and validated to predict the overall survival (OS) in serous ovarian cancer (SOC).

methodsPrimary SOC patients with satisfactory cytoreductive surgery, chemotherapy, and OS ≥1 month were included in this study. A total of 6957 patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database comprised the training group and 1244 patients comprised the external validation group. The nomogram was structured on Cox models and evaluated in both the training and validation groups using consistency index, area under the receiver operating characteristics curve, calibration plots, and risk subgroup classification. Kaplan-Meier curves were plotted to compare the survival outcomes between subgroups. A decision-curve analysis was used to test the clinical value of the nomogram.

resultsIndependent factors, including age, tumor grade, and Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage, identified by multivariate analysis in the training cohort, were selected for the nomogram. The consistency indexes for OS were 0.689 in the training cohort and 0.639 in the validation cohort. The calibration curves showed good consistency between predicted and actual 3- and 5-year OS. Significant differences were observed in the survival curves of different risk subgroups. The decision-curve analysis indicated that our nomogram was superior to the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system.

conclusionA nomogram was constructed to predict the long-term OS in SOC and verified in Asians. The accurate predictions facilitated personalized treatments and follow-up strategies.
