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

To assess shifts in long-term survival outcomes for prostate cancer patients, the present study conducted conditional survival (CS) analysis and developed a personalized CS-nomogram to provide dynamic prognostic predictions. Data from 301,441 prostate cancer patients in the Surveillance, epidemiology, and end results (SEER) database were analyzed, with cancer-specific survival (CSS) estimated using the Aalen Johansen estimator. Key predictive factors, including tumor size, lymph node involvement, distant metastasis, and histological grade, were identified via LASSO and multivariable Cox regression analyses to construct the nomogram. Results showed an increase in 12-year CSS from 94.3% at diagnosis to 99.4% for those surviving more than 5 years, with prostate cancer-specific mortality falling below 5% after 5-6 years of survival. The CS-nomogram demonstrated high predictive accuracy, achieving a concordance index (C-index) of 0.869 and area under the curve (AUC) values between 0.847 and 0.904 over a 12-year follow-up period, which provides dynamic, individualized prognostic estimates, supporting the long-term management of prostate cancer patients.
