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: Neuroendocrine carcinoma of the cervix (NECC) is a rare and highly aggressive subtype of cervical carcinomas with poor prognosis. NECC tends to occur in young age which could severely impair mental and physical health of young patients. Therefore, this study aims to develop an individualized prognostic nomogram for young NECC patients. Methods: 360 young (≤45 years old) NECC patients were retrospectively selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database and were randomly located to a training cohort and an internal validation cohort in a ratio of 7:3. Data from Fujian Cancer Hospital was used as an external validation cohort. Independent prognostic factors were identified by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis, and a prognostic nomogram for young NECC was developed. The predictive accuracy and clinical utility of the nomogram were assessed by area under the time-dependent receiver operating characteristic (timeROC) curve (AUC), the concordance index (C-index), calibration plots, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Finally, a simplified scoring system for clinical use was constructed by dividing patients into high-risk and low-risk groups. Results: Pathological type, FIGO stage, and surgery were independent risk factors by univariate and multivariate analysis ( Conclusions: Pathological type, FIGO stage, and surgery were identified as independent prognostic risk factors for young NECC patients. Based on the nomogram, gynecologic oncologists can accurately and easily predict the prognosis of young NECC and provide scientific guidance for individualized treatment.
