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

backgroundPrimary osseous sarcoma of the pelvis is rare and has a particularly sinister outcome. This study aims to identify independent prognostic factors of cancer-specific survival (CSS) in patients with primary pelvic sarcoma (PS) and develop a nomogram to predict 3-, 5-, and 10-year probability of CSS in these patients.

methodsThe Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was used to identify 416 patients with primary PS, who were divided into two groups: a training cohort and a validation cohort. Univariate and multivariate Cox analyses were used to screen independent prognostic factors in patients with primary PS. Based on these independent prognostic factors, a prognostic nomogram was developed to predict 3-, 5-, and 10-year probability of CSS. The nomogram's predictive performance and clinical value were evaluated using the calibration curve, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Finally, a mortality risk stratification system was developed.

resultsTumor size, tumor stage, histological type, surgery, and chemotherapy were identified as independent prognostic factors for the CSS of primary PS patients. Based on these factors, a nomogram was created to predict the 3-, 5-, and 10-year probability of CSS in these patients. The calibration curve, ROC, and DCA indicated that the nomogram performed well and was appropriate for clinical use, with 3-, 5-, and 10-year areas under ROC curve all higher than 0.800. Furthermore, the nomogram-based mortality risk stratification system could effectively divide these patients into three risk subgroups.

conclusionsThe nomogram constructed in this study could accurately predict 3-, 5-, and 10-year probability of CSS in patients with primary PS. Clinicians can use the nomogram to categorize these patients into risk subgroups and provide personalized treatment plans.
