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
introductionCurrently, the prognosis of resected N2 non-small cell lung cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant radiotherapy is poor. The goal of this research was to develop and validate a novel nomogram for exactly predicting the overall survival (OS) of resected N2 NSCLC patients undergoing neoadjuvant radiotherapy.
methodsThe data applied in our research were downloaded from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. We divided selected data into a training cohort and a validation cohort using R software, with a ratio of 7:3. Univariate Cox regression and multivariate Cox regression were utilized to select significant variables to build the nomogram. To validate our nomogram, calibration curves, receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC), decision curve analysis (DCA), and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were employed. The nomogram model was also compared with the tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging system by utilizing net reclassification index (NRI) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI).
resultsEight variables-age, sex, operative type, LN removed number, chemotherapy, AJCC stage, M stage, histology-were statistically significant in the multivariate Cox regression analysis and were selected to develop our nomogram. Based on ROC curves, calibration curves, and DCA analysis, our novel nomogram demonstrated good predictive accuracy and clinical utility. Using Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival curves and log-rank tests, the risk stratification system was able to stratify patients based on their estimated mortality risk. The nomogram performed better than the TNM staging system based on the NRI and IDI indexes.
conclusionsWe developed and validated a nomogram to predict prognosis of resected N2 NSCLC patients undergoing neoadjuvant radiotherapy. Using this nomogram, clinicians may find this nomogram useful in predicting OS of targeted patients and making more appropriate treatment decisions.
