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

introductionCirculating tumor cells (CTCs) have been suggested to have an important prognostic role in gastrointestinal tumors. We developed a preoperative CTC-based nomogram to predict the prognosis of patients with resectable gastric cancer after surgery and established a risk stratification system based on the nomogram.

methodsFrom January 2012 to June 2017, we screened 258 patients with gastric cancer treated with surgery from one center as the training cohort and 133 patients with gastric cancer treated with surgery from another as the validation cohort, screened prognostic factors for the training cohort using univariate and multivariate Cox risk proportional models, created predictive overall survival (OS) and a recurrence-free survival (RFS) nomogram, and plotted the receiver operating characteristic curve and calibration curve for this nomogram in the training and validation cohorts. Risk score stratification was performed according to the nomogram, and OS curves were plotted for the low, medium, and high-risk groups using the Kaplan-Meier method.

resultsThe CTC positivity rate was 78.5% in all patients. CTC, TNM stage, and Ki-67 were the prognostic factors affecting OS and RFS after gastric cancer surgery. The nomogram consisted of these 3 variables. In the training group, the area under the curve of the nomogram for OS at 1, 3, and 5 years was 0.918, 0.829, and 0.813, respectively, and the area under the curve for RFS was 0.900, 0884, and 0.839, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in OS among the low, medium, and high-risk groups according to the risk stratification system constructed from nomogram scores ( P < 0.001). DISCUSSION: Two nomograms based on preoperative CTC were established to predict OS and RFS after resectable gastric cancer. The 2 nomograms had good discrimination and calibration and significant stratification ability of the risk stratification system established according to them.
