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/

aimsThe aim of our study was to develop and validate a nomogram to predict cancer-specific survival and make a risk stratification system for primary gastrointestinal melanoma. MATERIALS AND

methodsPatients with primary gastrointestinal melanoma in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database between 2000 and 2018 were included and randomly divided into the training and validation cohort (8:2). A prediction nomogram of cancer-specific survival was constructed based on the risk factors identified in the multivariate Cox regression. Calibration curve, time-dependent receiver operating characteristic, and decision curve analysis were performed. Further, a risk stratification system was developed based on the nomogram.

resultsA total of 433 patients were included. The nomogram was constructed based on age, site, and tumor size, Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) stage, and therapy. The area under the curves of the nomogram predicting 6-, 12-, and 18-month cancer-specific survival were 0.789, 0.757, and 0.726 for the internal validation and 0.796, 0.763, and 0.795 for the external validation. Calibration curves and decision curve analysis were performed. Further, patients were divided into 2 risk subgroups. The Kaplan-Meier analysis and the log-rank test showed that the risk stratification made well differentiation of patients with different risks of cancerspecific survival.

conclusionWe developed and validated a practical prediction model of cancer-specific survival and a risk stratification system for patients with primary gastrointestinal melanoma, which might be available in clinical practices.
