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

backgroundGastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA) is a highly fatal form of cancer in humans. The aim of this study was to extract clinicopathological data of postoperative patients with GCA from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database, analyze prognostic risk factors, and build a nomogram.

methodsIn this study, the clinical information of 1448 patients with GCA who underwent radical surgery and were diagnosed between 2010 and 2015 was extracted from the SEER database. The patients were then randomly divided into training (n = 1013) and internal validation (n = 435) cohorts at a 7:3 ratio. The study also included an external validation cohort (n = 218) from a Chinese hospital. The study used the Cox and LASSO models to pinpoint the independent risk factors linked to GCA. The prognostic model was constructed according to the results of the multivariate regression analysis. To assess the predictive accuracy of the nomogram, four methods were used: C-index, calibration curve, time-dependent ROC curve, and DCA curve. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were also generated to illustrate the differences in cancer-specific survival (CSS) between the groups.

resultsThe results of the multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that age, grade, race, marital status, T stage, and log odds of positive lymph nodes (LODDS) were independently associated with cancer-specific survival in the training cohort. Both the C-index and AUC values depicted in the nomogram were greater than 0.71. The calibration curve revealed that the nomogram's CSS prediction was consistent with the actual outcomes. The decision curve analysis suggested moderately positive net benefits. Based on the nomogram risk score, significant differences in survival between the high- and low-risk groups were observed.

conclusionsRace, age, marital status, differentiation grade, T stage, and LODDS are independent predictors of CSS in patients with GCA after radical surgery. Our predictive nomogram constructed based on these variables demonstrated good predictive ability.
