Nomogram for predicting survival in T1-T2 stage patients with supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma.
Article in Discover oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundSupraglottic squamous cell carcinoma (SGSCC) is characterized by low differentiation, rapid growth, and inconspicuous initial manifestations. Early detection and prompt treatment can significantly improve survival rates. The main focus of treatment is to maintain optimal laryngeal function.
methodsUsing the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, we conducted univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses to identify independent prognostic factors for T1-T2 SGSCC. We also enrolled 109 patients with T1-T2 SGSCC from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University as an external validation set. In addition, we developed a nomogram to predict the prognosis of T1-T2 SGSCC, assessed the predictive accuracy and discriminatory ability of the nomogram using the area under the curve (AUC), C-index, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and calibration curve, and confirmed the clinical validity of the nomogram using decision curve analysis (DCA).
resultsOur investigation identified nine prognostic indicators for T1-T2 SGSCC: age (≥ 65 years), marital status, American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage (II-IV), grade (III-IV), M stage (M1), radiotherapy, chemotherapy, sex (female), and surgery. These variables were used to create accurate nomograms that predict overall and specific survival rates at 1, 3, and 5 years. The nomograms demonstrated superior prognostic value and accuracy compared to AJCC staging. Laryngectomy with partial laryngectomy is the preferred treatment option for T1-T2 SGSCC cases, providing superior overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS). Radiotherapy also improves OS and CSS. Our results were based on a comprehensive analysis of various indicators, including the C-index, ROC curve, calibration curve, and DCA curve.
conclusionNomograms provide significant advantages in treatment decision making and diagnosis. Laryngectomy with partial laryngectomy is the most appropriate method for T1-T2 SGSCC cases. However, radiotherapy can also be used. Thus, patients with T1-T2 SGSCC should be evaluated to determine if combination therapy is the optimal treatment approach. Nevertheless, further research is needed to understand the role of chemotherapy. Overall, this study identified nine key predictors of future outcomes, aiding healthcare professionals in assessing risks and making treatment decisions for T1-T2 SGSCC patients.
