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: This study aimed to develop functional nomograms to predict overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) of small cell carcinoma of ovary (SCCO). Methods: SSCO case data were recruited retrospectively from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Nomograms were constructed to predict the probabilities of OS and CSS in SCCO patients based on independent predictors. The predictive performance of nomogram was evaluated with the concordance index (C-index), area under the curve (AUC), calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: The independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of SCCO patients were older age, lower income, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, advanced International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage, and number of primary tumors. The C-index for the OS nomogram was 0.78 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.75 - 0.82), and AUCs for 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS were 0.861, 0.807, and 0.821, respectively. The C-index for the CSS nomogram was 0.79 (95% CI: 0.76 - 0.83), and AUCs for 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS were 0.873, 0.841, and 0.864, respectively. The calibration curves indicated reasonable agreement between the observed and predicted probabilities of the OS and CSS nomograms, which indicated a good degree of confidence. According to the C-index, ROC, and DCA, the prognostic nomograms of OS and CSS showed better prediction accuracy and clinical application value for SCCO than the FIGO staging system. Conclusions: We constructed original nomograms that provided useful prediction of OS and CSS for patients with SCCO. These models could facilitate the postoperative personalized assessment and the identification of treatment strategy.
