Surveillance of prognostic risk factors in patients with SCCB using artificial intelligence: a retrospective study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Small cell carcinoma of the bladder (SCCB) is a rare urological tumor. The prognosis of SCCB is abysmal. Therefore, this study aimed to construct nomograms that predict overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) in SCCB patients. Information on patients diagnosed with SCCB during 2004-2018 was obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models analyzed Independent risk factors affecting patients' OS and CSS. Nomograms predicting the OS and CSS were constructed based on the multivariate Cox regression model results. The calibration curve verified the accuracy and reliability of the nomograms, the concordance index (C-index), and the area under the curve (AUC). Decision curve analysis (DCA) assessed the potential clinical value. 975 patients were included in the training set (N = 687) and the validation set (N = 288). Multivariate COX regression models showed that age, marital status, AJCC stage, T stage, M stage, surgical approach, chemotherapy, tumor size, and lung metastasis were independent risk factors affecting the patients' OS. However, distant lymph node metastasis instead AJCC stage is the independent risk factor affecting the CSS in the patients. We successfully constructed nomograms that predict the OS and CSS for SCCB patients. The C index of the training set and the validation set of the OS were 0.747 (95% CI 0.725-0.769) and 0.765 (95% CI 0.736-0.794), respectively. The C index of the CSS were 0.749 (95% CI 0.710-0.773) and 0.786 (95% CI 0.755-0.817), respectively, indicating that the predictive models of the nomograms have excellent discriminative power. The calibration curve and the AUC also show good accuracy and discrimination of the nomograms. To sum up, We established nomograms to predict the OS and CSS of SCCB patients. The nomograms have undergone internal cross-validation and show good accuracy and reliability. The DCA shows that the nomograms have an excellent clinical value that can help doctors make clinical-assisted decision-making.
