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

backgroundThe prognosis of patients with poorly differentiated gastric neuroendocrine neoplasms (PDGNENs) is dismal and related research is limited.

aimTo investigate the prognostic factors, and validate a novel prognostic nomogram for PDGNEN patients.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective study using clinical and pathological data from PDGNEN patients treated at the First Medical Center of the Chinese PLA General Hospital from January 2000 to June 2023. Overall survival (OS) differences were assessed with the Log-rank test and Kaplan-Meier survival curves. Cox regression analysis identified independent risk factors for prognosis. Model performance was evaluated using Harrell's concordance index, receiver operating characteristic analysis, area under the curve, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (UDC), including the area under the UDC.

resultsThe study included 336 patients (227 with neuroendocrine carcinoma and 109 with mixed adenoneuroendocrine carcinoma). The average age was 62.7 years. The cohort comprised 80 (24.7%) patients in stage I, 146 (42.9%) in stage II, 62 (18.1%) in stage III, and 48 (14.3%) in stage IV. Significant differences in OS were observed across tumor-node-metastasis stages (

conclusionPDGNENs are predominantly found in older men, often in advanced stages at diagnosis, resulting in poor prognosis. The established nomogram demonstrates strong predictive capability and clinical utility.
