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: Roughly 5% to 10% of soft tissue sarcomas fall under the category of synovial sarcomas (SSs), a rare and malignant tumor originating from soft tissues with unclear differentiation, primarily affecting teenagers and young adults. The goal of this study was to assess the latest survival rates for SS of children and the risk factors affecting survival using the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database. Methods: Age, sex, race, SEER stage, surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, laterality, site of SS, and survival time were collected in the SEER database for survival and prognostic factor analysis. The overall survival curves and cancer special survival were obtained by Kaplan-Meier according to different factors. A multivariate Cox regression model and a predictive nomogram have also been constructed. Results: A total of 130 patients were enrolled in the study. In the overall survival analysis, age (P=0.01), male (P=0.04), no surgery (P<0.01), chemotherapy (P<0.01), primary tumor site in soft tissue (P=0.02), and in distant of SEER stage (P<0.01) were associated with a worse prognosis in children with SS. Multivariate analysis showed that chemotherapy and in distant of SEER stage were independent indicators of unfavorable prognosis. A similar result was released in the specialized cancer survival analysis. A nomogram was used to predict the prognosis of SS in children and a calibration curve was used to validate the nomogram prediction against the actual observed survival outcomes. Conclusions: In summary, chemotherapy, and worse SEER stage were associated with poorer overall and cancer special survivals. Nomogram was able to predict the probability of 1-, 5- and 10-year overall survivals and showed good consistency with the actual observed outcomes.
