Development and validation of a prediction model for the prognosis of renal cell carcinoma with liver metastases: a population-based cohort study.

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
Background: Current studies on the establishment of prognostic model for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with liver metastases (LM) were scarce. This study aimed to develop nomograms to predict the prognosis of RCC with LM. Methods: Patients diagnosed with RCC between 2010 and 2021 from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database were selected. The eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and Random Forest (RF) machine learning algorithms were used to screen for the most influential factors affecting prognosis, and the Venn diagram method was employed for further refinement. Subsequently, a nomogram related to brain metastases was constructed. The performance of the nomograms was evaluated through receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves, calibration plots, C-index, time-dependent C-index, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Kaplan-Meier (K-M) survival curves were used to provide additional verification of the clinical efficacy of the nomogram. Results: This research comprised 2,395 RCC patients with LM. The Venn diagram demonstrated that age, histological type, grade, AJCC T stage, AJCC N stage, surgery, chemotherapy, marital status, and lung metastasis were highly relevant variables to patients with LM. The AUC, C-index, calibration curves, and DCA curves showed excellent performance of the nomogram. Additionally, the prognostic nomogram accurately classified RCC with LM patients into low- and high-risk groups for mortality. Conclusion: This study developed a novel nomogram to predict the prognostic factors of RCC with LM, providing a valuable reference for making accurate clinical decisions.
