Nomogram for predicting overall and cancer-specific survival in patients with postoperative follicular thyroid cancer.
Article in Brazilian journal of otorhinolaryngology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesIn this research, nomograms were constructed from clinical variables in patients with postoperative Follicular Thyroid Cancer (FTC) to predict the survival of FTC patients.
methodsAdult patients surgically treated for FTC from 2004 to 2015 were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Significant clinical variables were screened using univariate analysis and further screened with multivariate Cox regression analysis, which were used to construct nomogram models for Overall Survival (OS) and Cancer-Specific Survival (CSS).
resultsAge, sex, marital status, tumor size, glandular invasion status, N stage and M stage were identified as the clinical variables affecting the OS in FTC patients. Additionally, all variables, except sex, were found to have an impact on the CSS in FTC patients. The c-index shows agreement between the predicted results and the actual observed results, and the calibration curve of the probability of survival also shows agreement between the predicted plot and the actual observations.
conclusionsOur study successfully built a nomogram of OS and CSS for FTC patients who had undergone surgery. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV: Retrospective cohort study.
