Development of a nomogram to predict medication nonadherence risk in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectivesPoor adherence among patients with chronic diseases including inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRDs) is a complex and serious global health care problem. This study aimed to develop an intelligent nomogram using retrospectively collected patient clinical data for predicting nonadherence to biologic treatment in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients.
methodsThe clinical characteristics of 102 RA patients were collected from outpatients and inpatients at the Orthopedic Departments of Ningxia General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region People's Hospital from October 2020 to September 2021. Adherence was evaluated using the proportion of treatment days covered within 6 months as the outcome event. A least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis was used to identify risk predictors, and then multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied to construct the risk prediction model. Furthermore, the nomogram was plotted by multivariable logistic regression.
resultsAmong the 102 patients analyzed, 43 patients did not adhere to biologic therapy for various reasons. LASSO regression analysis identified age, sex, education level, disease activity, monthly income, medical insurance, and adverse drug reactions as the significant risk predictors. By incorporating these factors, the nomogram was plotted which showed good discrimination, calibration, and clinical value. The C-index was 0.759 (95% CI: 0.665-0.853), and the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was 0.7416 with a good calibration ability. Decision curve analysis showed that the prediction effect of this model could benefit about 75% of the patients without compromising the interests of other patients.
conclusionsThis nomogram could help medical staff identify patients with higher risk of nonadherence early, so that intervention measures can be taken in time.
