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

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the value of the 8th American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) anatomic and prognostic stage groups for penile cancer patients and explore whether there is room for improvement. Methods: The clinical and histopathologic data from 16 centers between January 2000 and December 2021 were assessed according to the 8th AJCC anatomic and prognostic stage groups. Kaplan-Meier plots were used to estimate the disease-specific survival (DSS) of the patients. The accuracy of the staging systems was investigated using the Harrell's concordance index (C-index). Results: According to the 8th AJCC anatomic and prognostic stage groups, the 5-year DSS rates for patients with stages 0is/a, I, IIA, IIB, IIIA, IIIB, and IV disease were 100%, 99%, 86%, 81%, 66%, 34%, and 23%, respectively ( Conclusion: There is still room for improvement about the 8th AJCC anatomic and prognostic stage groups. The improved models, which are more concise and convenient, have similar prediction accuracy.
