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

Objective: To construct and validate a risk prediction model for hypoproteinemia in adults following cardiac valve surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), providing medical staff with an effective tool for early identification and intervention. Methods: This retrospective cohort study analyzed clinical data from 259 patients who underwent CPB-assisted heart valve surgery at the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, First Affiliated Hospital of China University of Science and Technology, between January and December 2023. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether their serum albumin levels fell below 35 g/L within 48 hours postoperatively: the hypoproteinemia group ( Results: Among the 259 patients, 144 developed hypoproteinemia, yielding an incidence rate of 55.60%. LASSO regression identified nine variables associated with hypoproteinemia, and multivariate logistic regression confirmed eight independent predictors. Hypertension, chest infection, frailty, and preoperative heart failure were identified as independent risk factors (OR > 1, Conclusion: The incidence of postoperative hypoproteinemia in this cohort was 55.60%. The developed nomogram model, based on key clinical predictors, demonstrated strong calibration and discrimination, offering a practical tool for identifying patients at high risk of hypoproteinemia following valve surgery.
