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: Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a myocardial dysfunction disorder driven by diabetes-associated metabolic disorders, significantly elevating the risk of heart failure in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We aimed to develop and validate a nomogram for individualized DCM risk prediction in T2DM populations. Methods: This retrospective study enrolled 525 consecutive T2DM patients admitted to our hospital (June 2022-June 2024). Participants were randomly allocated to training (70%) or validation (30%) cohorts. Baseline clinical characteristics, laboratory profiles, and echocardiographic parameters were collected. Predictors were identified via univariate then multivariate logistic regression, followed by nomogram construction. Model validation included: (1) internal validation via 1000 bootstrap resamples; (2) discrimination assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC); (3) calibration evaluated using calibration plots and the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test; (4) clinical utility determined by decision curve analysis (DCA) and clinical impact curves (CIC). Results: Six independent predictors-age, duration of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM Duration), systolic blood pressure (SBP), urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), left atrial diameter (LAD), and left ventricular posterior wall thickness at end-diastole (LVPWd)-were incorporated. The model showed excellent discrimination: AUC 0.947 (95% CI: 0.916-0.967) in training and 0.922 (95% CI: 0.870-0.956) in validation cohorts. Calibration indicated strong agreement (Hosmer-Lemeshow χ² = 9.2119, Conclusions: This nomogram integrates routine clinical/echocardiographic parameters to predict DCM risk in T2DM patients, facilitating individualized risk stratification and guiding early cardioprotective interventions in high-risk populations.
