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.
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
objectiveTo develop and validate a multidimensional prognostic model for predicting postoperative 1-year all-cause mortality in esophageal cancer patients by integrating clinical, hematological, tumor-related, and perioperative factors (including the Naples Prognostic Score, NPS), and to provide evidence for clinical risk stratification and individualized interventions.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 625 patients (≥ 18 years) who underwent esophageal cancer resection (January 2018–January 2023) at the Cancer Hospital Affiliated to Xinjiang Medical University. Ultimately, 521 eligible patients were enrolled and split into a training cohort (n = 364, 70%) and validation cohort (n = 157, 30%). LASSO regression was used for feature selection, and Cox univariate/multivariate analyses identified independent risk factors for 1-year mortality. Kaplan-Meier analysis compared survival differences by NPS and Clavien-Dindo classification.
resultsThe 1-year all-cause mortality rate was 20.0% (104/521). Independent predictors included anemia (assessed by red blood cell count), white blood cell count, NPS, Clavien-Dindo classification, and TNM stage (all P < 0.05). The model had an AUC of 0.82 (95% CI: 0.76–0.87) in the training cohort and 0.76 (95% CI: 0.66–0.86) in the validation cohort. Calibration curves and DCA confirmed good calibration and clinical utility. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed significant survival differences between NPS < 3 vs. ≥3 and Clavien-Dindo < 3 vs. ≥3 (both P < 0.0001).
conclusionThis multidimensional model effectively predicts postoperative 1-year mortality in esophageal cancer patients. With NPS as a core component, it provides a practical tool for perioperative risk stratification and individualized management to identify high-risk patients and reduce mortality.
