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

objectiveTo compare the prognostic factors of Siewert type II AEG patients who had received neoadjuvant radiotherapy (nRT) versus those who did not receive nRT. Nomograms for outcome prediction were constructed for the two treatment modalities. MATERIALS AND

methodsData for 1,745 Siewert II type AEG patients who underwent radical surgery between 2010 and 2015 were retrieved from SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results) database. Patients were assigned to neoadjuvant radiotherapy (nRT) and non-neoadjuvant radiotherapy (non-nRT) groups based on treatment modality. Independent prognostic predictors were used to develop nomograms. Concordance index (C-index), receiver operating characteristic (ROC), calibration curves, and decision curve analyses (DCA) were used to determine the performance and prognostic value of the nomograms. The predictive accuracy of nomograms was compared with the prognostic value of the Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM) staging system.

resultsThe results showed that age, lymph node rate (LNR), and the number of removed lymph nodes (RLN) were independent prognostic factors for CSS in the nRT group. Tumor size, tumor grade, T stage, LNR, and therapy type were independent prognosis factors for CSS in patients in the non-nRT group. The C-indices for the nomograms were 0.652 (95% CI, 0.614-0.690) and 0.663 (95% CI, 0.606-0.720) in the training and validation cohort, respectively, for the nRT group. C-indices for the nomogram in non-nRT group were 0.754 (95% CI, 0.723-0.785) and 0.747 (95% CI, 0.688-0.800) for the training and validation cohorts, respectively. C-indices and ROC curves showed good predictive value compared with the TNM staging system in both groups. C-indices, as well as the AUC values of the nomograms and the TNM staging system for both cohorts in the non-nRT group were higher compared with those in the nRT group. Analysis of the survival calibration curve revealed high consistency between actual versus predicted outcomes determined by the nomograms. Decision curve analyses revealed that the new models had higher prediction value and clinical significance compared with TNM staging system.

conclusionThe established nomograms showed high prognostic value for Siewert type II AEG patients in both nRT and non-nRT groups. In addition, the nomogram and the TNM staging systems showed better prognostic performance for patients in the non-nRT group compared with patients in the nRT group.
