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

backgroundLiver metastases are important in determining the prognosis of ovarian cancer. We aimed to develop and validate nomograms to predict the risk of liver metastases in patients with early-stage ovarian cancer.

methodsA total of 13,487 patients were enrolled in the study based on their records in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Risk factors of liver metastases were assessed based on univariable and multivariable logistic regression. A nomogram was also formulated based on the results of multivariable logistic analysis. The area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve was calculated to evaluate the discrimination abilities of the metastasis-related factors and liver metastases nomogram. A calibration plot was generated to analyze the consistency between the observed probability and predicted probability of liver metastases in patients with ovarian cancer.

resultsFour related factors were determined based on univariable and multivariable logistic regression, including the T1 stage, N1 stage, and presence of lung and bone metastases. The liver metastases nomogram composed of four features could be used to determine the prediction effect. The calibration plot showed good consistency between the nomogram prediction and actual observation. The receiver-operating characteristic curve showed that the forecast nomogram exhibited a good forecast value.

conclusionsThis clinical prediction model has high accuracy to identify patients with newly diagnosed ovarian cancer who carry a high risk of liver metastases and provide a personalized treatment plan for these patients.
