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

backgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate independent predictors of prognosis in patients with mixed medullary and follicular cell carcinoma (MMFCC) and to establish the novel prognostic nomograms in the academic community for 3-, 5-, and 10 year CSS and OS in patients with MMFCC.

methodsDemographic information, clinicopathological characteristics, treatment information, and survival status information of 200 patients with MMFCC and 6615 patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) from 2000 to 2020 in the SEER database were retrospectively analyzed. Independent predictors of prognosis in MMFCC patients were derived using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses after relevant comparisons based on pathologic typing. On this basis, we developed and validated clinical prognostic nomograms and risk-stratified the patient population.

resultsIn this study, the clinical information of 200 patients with MMFCC was compared with that of 5947 patients with MTC (NOS) and 668 patients with MTC with amyloid stroma, and there was a significant difference in the relevant variables among the three, with the CSS being 88.5%, 87.5%, and 90.9%, and the OS being 76.5%, 75.4%, and 83.8%. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses yielded that age at diagnosis, presence of distant metastases, thyroidectomy scope, and lymph node dissection status were significantly correlated with the prognosis of patients (P < 0.05), and were independent predictors of CSS and OS for patients with MMFCC, and the Kaplan-Meier survival curves plotted by these factors demonstrated their predictive power for the prognosis of patients with MMFCC. The concordance index of the prognostic nomograms of CSS and OS established on this basis was 0.838 and 0.794, respectively, and the time-dependent area under curve, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis curve showed that the model had good discriminative ability, accuracy, and clinical applicability.

conclusionsIn this study, we concluded that there are large differences between MMFCC and MTC in terms of demographic information, clinicopathological characteristics, treatment information, and survival status information, and we constructed the novel prognostic nomograms for 3-, 5-, and 10 year CSS and OS for patients with MMFCC with risk stratification, which will help clinicians to develop individualized protocols for their postoperative treatments and follow-ups.
