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

backgroundPatients with decompensated liver cirrhosis suffering from esophagogastric variceal bleeding (EGVB) face high mortality.

aimTo investigate the risk factors for EGVB in patients with liver cirrhosis and establish a diagnostic nomogram.

methodsPatients with liver cirrhosis who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into training and validation cohorts in a 6:4 ratio in this retrospective research. Univariate analysis, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression, and multivariate analysis were employed to establish the nomogram model. Calibration curve, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), and decision curve analysis (DCA) were applied to assess the discrimination, accuracy, and clinical practicability of the nomogram, respectively.

resultsA total of 1115 patients were enrolled in this study. The nomogram was established based on white blood cells (

conclusionThis research constructed and validated a nomogram with perfect performance for predicting EGVB events in patients with liver cirrhosis, which could help clinicians with timely diagnosis, individualized treatment, and follow-up.
