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

Background: The aim of the study was to establish and validate a novel prognostic nomogram of cancer-specific survival (CSS) in resected hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA) patients. Methods: A training cohort of 536 patients and an internal validation cohort of 270 patients were included in this study. The demographic and clinicopathological variables were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis were performed in the training cohort, followed by the construction of nomogram for CSS. The performance of the nomogram was assessed by concordance index (C-index) and calibration plots and compared with the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging systems. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was applied to measure the predictive power and clinical value of the nomogram. Results: The nomogram incorporating age, tumor size, tumor grade, lymph node ratio (LNR) and T stage parameters was with a C-index of 0.655 in the training cohort, 0.626 in the validation cohort, compared with corresponding 0.631, 0.626 for the AJCC 8th staging system. The calibration curves exhibited excellent agreement between CSS probabilities predicted by nomogram and actual observation in the training cohort and validation cohort. DCA indicated that this nomogram generated substantial clinical value. Conclusions: The proposed nomogram provided a more accurate prognostic prediction of CSS for individual patients with resected HCCA than the AJCC 8th staging system, which might be served as an effective tool to stratify resected HCCA patients with high risk and facilitate optimizing therapeutic benefit.
