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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveNo effective preoperative tool is available for predicting the prognosis of advanced gastric cancer (AGC) treated by neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). We aimed to explore the association between change values ("delta") in the radiomic signatures of computed tomography (CT) (delCT-RS) before and after NAC for AGC and overall survival(OS). METHODS AND

designA total of 132 AGC patients with AGC were studied as a training cohort in our center, and 45 patients from another center were used as an external validation set. A radiomic signatures-clinical-nomogram(RS-CN) was established using delCT-RS and preoperative clinical variables. The prediction performance of RS-CN was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve (AUC values), time-dependent ROC, decision curve analysis(DCA) and C-index.

resultsMultivariable Cox regression analyses showed that delCT-RS, cT-stage, cN-stage, Lauren-type and the value of variation of carcinoma embryonic antigen (CEA) between NAC were independent risk factors for 3-year OS of AGC. In the training cohort, RS-CN had a good prediction performance for OS (C-Index 0.73) and AUC values were significantly better than those of delCT-RS, ypTNM-stage and tumor regression grade(TRG) (0.827 vs 0.704 vs 0.749 vs 0.571, p < 0.001). DCA and time-dependent ROC of RS-CN were better than those of ypTNM stage, TRG grade and delCT-RS. The prediction performance of the validation set was equivalent to that of the training set. The cut-off (177.2) of RS-CN score was obtained from X-Tile software, a score of > 177.2 was defined as high-risk group(HRG), and scores of ≤ 177.2 were defined as the low-risk group(LRG). The 3-year OS and disease free survival(DFS) of patients in the LRG were significantly better than those in the HRG. Adjuvant chemotherapy(AC) can only significantly improve the 3-year OS and DFS of the LRG. (p < 0.05).

conclusionsOur nomogram based on delCT-RS has good prediction of prognosis before surgery and helps identify patients that are most likely to benefit from AC. It works well in precise and individualised NAC in AGC.
