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 and aims: Radical cystectomy (RC) remains the standard treatment for localized and regionally muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). However, only half of patients with MIBC survive more than 5 years after RC. We explored the factors associated with overall survival (OS) and constructed a prognostic nomogram for predicting 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS after RC. Methods: The data were sourced from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and Peking University First Hospital (PKUFH). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed using the minimum value of the Akaike information criterion to select independent prognostic factors that significantly contributed to patient survival. A prognostic nomogram was designed to predict 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS. Results: Among the 16,949 patients with MIBC undergoing surgery, 31.15% survived for more than 5 years. The nomogram we created demonstrated satisfactory discriminative ability to predict the survival of MIBC patients with RC, with area under curve (AUC) of 0.939, 0.880 and 0.852 for 1-, 3- and 5-year OS in the testing set. Moreover, the nomogram still exhibited good performance in an externally independent dataset (1-year: AUC=0.970; 3-year: AUC=0.847; 5-year: AUC=0.790). Furthermore, decision curve analyses showed a modest net benefit for the use of the MIBC nomogram in the current cohort compared to the use of American Joint Committee on Cancer staging alone. Conclusions: A prognostic nomogram was developed and validated to help clinicians evaluate the prognosis of postoperative MIBC patients. The future integration of additional data will likely improve model performance and accuracy for personalized prognostics.
