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

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of a family history of malignant tumor on the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer and develop a nomogram that incorporates a family history of malignant tumor to predict overall survival (OS) in patients with gastric cancer to aid clinicians and patients in decision making. Four hundred eighty-eight patients with gastric cancer undergoing radical gastrectomy in our center were included and randomly split into a training set (n = 350) and a validation set (n = 138) at a ratio of 7:3. Cox univariate regression analysis was used to evaluate the influence of clinicopathological characteristics and family history of malignant tumors on their prognosis, and variables were screened by multivariate Cox regression analysis and consensus on clinical evidence. A nomogram was constructed for OS based on the filtered variables, and the C-index, receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve), and calibration curve were used to validate the nomogram and decision curve analysis curve (DCA curve) was used for clinical practicality assessment. Six variables related to OS, including the pathological differentiation degree, Lauren type, infiltration depth, lymph node metastasis, tumor deposit, and family history of malignant tumor, were screened to construct a nomogram. The nomogram developed in this study performed well in the training set and the validation set, with C-index of 0.776 and 0.757, and the area under the ROC curve(AUC) for predicting 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates are 0.838, 0.850, 0.820 and 0.754, 0.789, 0.808, respectively. The calibration curve shows that the estimated death risk of the nomogram in the 2 data sets is very close to the actual death risk. The net benefits of nomogram-guided prediction of patient survival at 1-, 3-, and 5 years were demonstrated by the DCA curves, which showed high clinical practicability. Family history of malignant tumors is an independent risk factor affecting the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer. The nomogram developed in this research can be used as an important tool to predict the prognosis of gastric cancer patients with family history data.
