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

purposeTo make a comprehensive population-based study on risk and prognostic factors of brain metastasis from lung cancer.

methodsA total of 91,643 patients diagnosed with lung cancer from 2010 to 2018 were collected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End results (SEER) database. To analyze the risk and prognostic factors of brain metastasis among lung cancer patients, both Logistic and Cox regression methods were applied, respectively. Also, the competing risk regression model was performed to establish a new nomogram to predict cancer-specific survival (CSS).

resultsAmong the 91,643 lung cancer patients, 10,855 were found to have brain metastasis, with the incidence of 11.84%. The residence, age, race, income, primary site, histological type, extracranial metastasis, T stage, and N stage were all found to be independent risk factors of brain metastasis. The median overall survival (OS) of brain metastasis patients was limited to 6.08 months. By dividing patients randomly into a primary cohort with 7237 patients and a validation cohort with 3618 patients, a conclusion that the income, race, gender, age, histological type, extracranial metastasis, T stage, and N stage were all associated with the prognosis of brain metastasis was drawn. Our established primary-cohort-based new nomogram showed a good discriminative ability in predicting the probability of CSS among patients with brain metastasis, and the C-index was 0.62. Besides, the calibration curves for CSS also showed that the predicted survival by nomogram was consistent with the actual survival in the validation cohort.

conclusionOur study shall provide a deeper insight into the risk factors and prognosis of brain metastasis among lung cancer patients.
