Title: Novel Nomogram to Predict the Overall Survival of Postoperative Patients with Gastric
Signet
Version: 2 Date: 06 Jul 2023
Reviewer's report:
The paper named “Novel Nomogram to Predict the Overall Survival of Postoperative Patients
with Gastric Signet” conducted by Liu et al. has been evaluated. I think this study has certain
innovation and clinical significance. However, some obvious limitations impair the overall
quality. Before it is suitable for publication, I suggest the author make substantive modifications.
1. I noticed that some of the figures have a low resolution which makes them hard to read. I
would suggest that the authors increase the resolution of these figures, which would make them
easier to read and understand. This would also make it easier for readers to fully understand the
results and make use of it. I believe that increasing the resolution of these figures would greatly
improve the manuscript.
2. This study was conducted based on open-accessed data. Some previous studies
have used similar bioinformatics or statistical methods. Although it will lose some
innovation, I think it will benefit the reader if the authors could include the following
references, which would provide readers with a more complete understanding of the
whole study: doi: 10.1177/10732748221129451; doi: 10.1016/j.ajur.2020.11.004; doi: 10.3389/
fgene.2021.627508; doi: 10.4103/aja2021102.
3. Detailed description of all method section is required.
4. State the * and statistic value in the method section or otherwise mention in every figure
legend. e.g., *p>0.05.
5. Check the reference style and abbreviation of journals.
6. Some typos are there; rectify those (Minor).
7. Please calculate the C index of nomogram plot.
