A Nomogram Model to Predict Post-Progression Survival in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Patients With Recurrence After Radical Resection.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is characterized clinically by frequent recurrence, leading to a poor prognosis after radical surgery. The aim of this study was to identify a prognostic nomogram to predict the post-progression survival (PPS) of ESCC patients based on the features of primary tumor and recurrence. Methods: A total of 234 ESCC patients who underwent recurrence after radical surgery were enrolled in this study. The independent prognostic factors screened by the univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis were subsequently used to construct a nomogram. The predictive performance of the nomogram was evaluated with the concordance index (C-index), decision curve, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and validated in two validation cohorts. The Kaplan-Meier curves of different recurrence patterns were analyzed. Results: The prognostic nomogram of PPS was established by integrating independent prognostic factors, including age, body mass index, number of lymph node dissection, recurrence pattern, and recurrence treatment. The nomogram demonstrated good performance, with C-index values of 0.756, 0.817, and 0.730 for the training and two validation cohorts. The 1-year AUC values were 0.773, 0.798, and 0.735 and 3-year AUC values were 0.832, 0.871, and 0.791, respectively. Furthermore, we found that patients with bone metastasis displayed the worst PPS compared to other isolated recurrence patterns. Conclusion: We constructed a nomogram to reliably predict PPS, which would be valuable to provide individual managements for ESCC patients after radical surgery.
