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

The present work aimed to establish a new model to accurately estimate overall survival (OS) as well as cancer-specific survival (CSS) of osteosarcoma. Osteosarcoma cases were collected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2004 and 2017 and randomized as training or validation sets. Then, the OS- and CSS-related variables were discovered through multivariate Cox regression analysis to develop new nomograms to predict the 1-, 3- and 5-year OS and CSS. Besides, consistency index (C-index), decision curve analysis (DCA), along with calibration curve were adopted for assessing the predicting ability of our constructed nomograms after calibrating for 1-, 3- and 5-year OS and CSS. Altogether, 1727 osteosarcoma cases were enrolled in the present study and randomly divided as training (n = 1149, 70%) or validation (n = 576, 30%) set. As shown by univariate as well as multivariate Cox regression analyses, age, grade, T stage, M stage, surgery, chemotherapy, and histological type were identified to be the adverse factors to independently predict OS and CSS among the osteosarcoma cases. Besides, based on results of multivariate Cox regression analysis, we constructed the OS and CSS prediction nomograms. The C-index in training set was 0.806 (95% CI 0.769-0.836) for OS nomogram and 0.807 (95% CI 0.769-0.836) for CSS nomogram. In the meantime, C-index value in validation set was 0.818 (95% CI 0.789-0.847) for OS nomogram, while 0.804 (95% CI 0.773-0.835) for CSS nomogram. Besides, those calibration curves regarding the 3- and 5-year CSS of our constructed nomogram were highly consistent between the predicted values and the measurements in the training set as well as the external validation set. Our constructed nomogram outperformed the TNM stage in prediction. Our constructed nomogram is facile, creditable, and feasible; it efficiently predicts OS and CSS for osteosarcoma cases and can assist clinicians in assessing the prognosis for individuals and making decisions.
