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

objectiveThe long-term prognosis of diabetic patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is influenced by various clinical variables and biomarkers. This study aimed to develop and validate a prognostic model that integrates clinical, echocardiographic, and angiographic data to predict disease progression.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 396 diabetic CAD patients with a 3-year follow-up starting from their first coronary angiography. Outcome variables included recurrent myocardial infarction, unstable angina rehospitalization, heart failure, ischemic stroke, cardiovascular death, and all-cause death. Non-progression was defined as the absence of these events. Variables included clinical data, echocardiographic parameters, coronary angiography results, and biomarkers. A multivariate Cox regression model was developed, incorporating key factors (coronary lesion number, myocardial infarction history, ejection fraction, and creatinine).

resultsMultivariate analysis identified the number of obstructed coronary arteries, history of myocardial infarction, ejection fraction, and creatinine level as independent predictors of disease progression. The model showed good predictive performance, with AUC values of 0.742, 0.782, and 0.816 at 3, 6, and 9 months, respectively. The C-index was 0.669 (95% CI: 0.5959-0.7196) in the training set and 0.695 (95% CI: 0.5781-0.7436) in the validation set, reflecting consistent predictive performance. Calibration curves showed excellent agreement between predicted and observed outcomes.

conclusionWe developed and validated a practical nomogram integrating clinical, biochemical, and imaging data to predict short-term disease progression in diabetic patients with CAD. This tool may assist clinicians in early risk stratification and individualized management planning.
