An individualized nomogram for survival prediction in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma: a population-based analysis.
Article in World journal of surgical oncology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundIntrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is an aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis. Current prognostic systems, including TNM staging system, incompletely incorporate important clinical and pathological factors. This study aims to develop and validate an individualized nomogram for predicting overall survival (OS) in ICC patients.
methodsA total of 1,751 ICC patients diagnosed between 2011 and 2021 were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database for model development and internal validation. A temporally distinct SEER cohort of 751 ICC patients diagnosed between 2000 and 2010 was used for temporal validation. Twelve candidate predictors were prespecified, and the final nomogram variables were retained from the multivariable Cox model according to a predefined retention threshold. Model performance was evaluated using the concordance index (C-index), time-dependent area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (time-dependent AUC), calibration curves, decision curve analysis (DCA), and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI). Kaplan-Meier analysis was used for risk stratification.
resultsThe nomogram demonstrated good discriminative ability, with C-indices of 0.761 (training cohort) and 0.732 (validation cohort), and time-dependent AUC values ranging from 0.74 to 0.84 across 1-, 3-, and 5-year predictions. Calibration curves revealed good agreement between predicted and observed survival probabilities in both cohorts. The model outperformed the TNM staging system, with IDI values of 0.197, 0.393, and 0.238 for 1-, 3-, and 5-year predictions, respectively (all P < 0.001). DCA indicated greater net benefit across a range of threshold probabilities. Risk stratification significantly differentiated high-risk from low-risk patients (log-rank P < 0.001).
conclusionThe proposed nomogram provides individualized prediction of 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS in ICC patients and may assist in risk stratification and prognostic assessment.
