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: To construct a prognostic model for predicting cancer-specific survival in lymph node-positive colorectal cancer patients treated with adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery. Methods: Data were collected from the 2010-2015 SEER database and from CRC patients at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical University (2017-2023). Lasso regression and random survival forest methods were used to screen ten clinicopathologic features. Cox regression analysis identified independent prognostic factors for CRC. Nomogram plot model was used to predict 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates, with its accuracy verified through ROC curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). The X-tile software differentiated between high and low-risk groups and illustrated survival differences using Kaplan-Meier curves. Results: Age, histologic grade, stage, CEA, nerve invasion, and LNR were independent prognostic risk factors for colorectal cancer ( Conclusions: LNR represents a new independent prognostic factor for lymph node-positive CRC. The optimal threshold determined by the Nomogram method effectively categorizes subgroups of lymph node-positive CRC cases after surgical chemotherapy, crucial for guiding clinical treatment strategy selection.
