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

backgroundCollecting duct carcinoma (CDC) is a rare histological type of renal cell carcinoma that lacks a prognostic prediction model. In this study, we developed a nomogram to predict the prognosis of CDC patients.

methodsData for patients (n = 247) diagnosed with CDC from 2004 to 2015 were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, and the patients were randomized into training (n = 165) and validation (n = 82) cohorts. Survival outcomes were evaluated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Significant variables determined by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to construct the nomogram. C-indexes and calibration plots were applied to evaluate the performance of the nomogram.

resultsCDC patients had a median overall survival (OS) of 18.0 months (95% confidence interval: 13.7-22.3); 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year OS rates were 58.7%, 34.2%, and 29.4%, respectively. Independent prognostic factors, including age at diagnosis, tumor size, tumor grade, T stage, N stage, M stage, and surgery information, were identified by multivariate analysis. The nomogram was constructed based on significant factors in the training cohort. The C-indexes were 0.769 (training cohort) and 0.767 (validation cohort). The calibration curves for survival rates showed that the predicted and observed values were consistent.

conclusionsThis study constructed a nomogram to predict prognosis in patients with CDC. The nomogram performed well in predicting the 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year OS, which can help doctors actively monitor and follow up patients.
