A nomogram predicting the risk of venous thromboembolism in patients following urologic surgeries.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. 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
There are inconsistent results pertaining to risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients following urologic surgeries. We attempted to establish a visualization model to shed further light upon this topic. Consequently, a total of 436 patients who were tested for VTE following urologic surgeries were retrospectively enrolled. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method (LASSO) method was utilized to determine risk factors for VTE and a subsequent nomogram was constructed. The concordance index (C-index) and calibration curve were utilized to evaluate the nomogram. The results suggested that age, history of smoking, D-dimer levels on the first postoperative day, transfusion volume and body mass index (BMI) were identified as significant risk factors for VTE. The C-index of the nomogram composed of the five variables was 0.747 (95% CI 0.700-0.793) and the calibration plot demonstrated good performance. Therefore, the present nomogram could predict the risk of VTE following urologic surgeries.
