A clinical prediction model for lung metastasis risk in osteosarcoma: A multicenter retrospective study.

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: Lung metastases (LM) have a poor prognosis of osteosarcoma. This study aimed to predict the risk of LM using the nomogram in patients with osteosarcoma. Methods: A total of 1100 patients who were diagnosed as osteosarcoma between 2010 and 2019 in the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database were selected as the training cohort. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify independent prognostic factors of osteosarcoma lung metastases. 108 osteosarcoma patients from a multicentre dataset was as valiation data. The predictive power of the nomogram model was assessed by receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) and calibration plots, and decision curve analysis (DCA) was utilized to interpret the accurate validity in clinical practice. Results: A total of 1208 patients with osteosarcoma from both the SEER database(n=1100) and the multicentre database (n=108) were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that Survival time, Sex, T-stage, N-stage, Surgery, Radiation, and Bone metastases were independent risk factors for lung metastasis. We combined these factors to construct a nomogram for estimating the risk of lung metastasis. Internal and external validation showed significant predictive differences (AUC 0.779, 0.792 respectively). Calibration plots showed good performance of the nomogram model. Conclusions: In this study, a nomogram model for predicting the risk of lung metastases in osteosarcoma patients was constructed and turned out to be accurate and reliable through internal and external validation. Moreover we built a webpage calculator (https://drliwenle.shinyapps.io/OSLM/) taken into account nomogram model to help clinicians make more accurate and personalized predictions.
