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: Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma (GEP-NEC) is a rare group of diseases with poor prognosis and the assessment of its prognosis is a significant challenge. This study aimed to develop and validate a prognostic nomogram to assess overall survival (OS) in patients with GEP-NEC. Methods: Patients diagnosed with poorly differentiated GEP-NEC were collected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2011 and 2015 and were randomly assigned to the training or validation cohort in a 7:3 ratio. The data included details of clinicopathological characteristics, therapeutic interventions and survival outcomes. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to identify independent prognostic factors. Nomogram was used to predict OS at 1 and 2 years. The nomogram was internally validated with validation cohort, and its predictive ability was evaluated using concordance index (C-index), receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration plots, decision curve analysis (DCA), and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) index. Results: A total of 887 patients were divided into the training group (n=623) and the validation group (n=264). A total of 476 patients (53.66%) were in stage IV. Based on multivariate analysis, a nomogram was constructed with age, gender, N stage, tumor size, primary tumor resection, radiotherapy and chemotherapy (P<0.05). The C-index was 0.701 [95% confidential interval (CI): 0.677-0.725] and 0.731 (95% CI: 0.698-0.764) for the training and validation groups, respectively. The C-index, ROC, IDI and DCA results indicated that this nomogram model has a good predictive value. Conclusions: In this study, a nomogram model based on seven independent prognostic factors provided visualization of the risk and could help clinicians predict the 1-year and 2-year OS for GEP-NEC. This tool can provide personalized survival predictions and improve clinical decision making for the management of GEP-NEC.
