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: On average, 5-10% of patients are diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) at the initial diagnosis. This study aimed to develop a nomogram to predict the overall survival (OS) in these patients. Methods: The nomogram was based on a retrospective study of 9435 patients with Results: Multivariate analysis of the primary cohort revealed that independent factors for survival were age at diagnosis, pathological type, histological grade, T stage, N stage, molecular subtype, bone metastasis, brain metastasis, liver metastasis, lung metastasis, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. The nomogram achieved a C-index of 0.688 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.682-0.694) in the training cohort and 0.875 (95% CI, 0.816-0.934) in the validation cohort. The AUC of the nomograms indicated good specificity and sensitivity in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. Calibration curves showed favorable consistency between the predicted and actual survival probabilities. Additionally, the DCA curve produced higher net gains than by the AJCC-TNM staging system. Finally, risk stratification can accurately identify groups of patients with Conclusions: The nomogram showed favorable predictive and discriminative abilities for OS in patients with
