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

This study aims to develop and validate a nomogram for predicting therapeutic efficacy in elderly hip fracture patients with preoperative lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This retrospective study analyzed data from 172 elderly hip fracture patients with preoperative DVT treated between March 2021 and October 2023. Patients were randomly divided into training (n = 120) and validation (n = 52) sets. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression identified independent predictors of DVT treatment efficacy. A nomogram was constructed and evaluated using the concordance index, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis. A total of 172 elderly hip fracture patients with preoperative lower extremity DVT were randomly allocated into training (n = 120) and validation (n = 52) sets. The rates of ineffective DVT treatment were 25.83% (31/120) and 28.84% (15/52), respectively. Multivariate analysis identified 6 independent predictors: age (odds ratio [OR] = 1.282, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.151-1.428), bedridden duration (OR = 2.231, 95% CI: 1.622-3.069), fasting blood glucose (OR = 1.898, 95% CI: 1.369-2.631), fibrinogen (OR = 2.255, 95% CI: 1.547-3.288), lactate dehydrogenase (OR = 1.040, 95% CI: 1.021-1.059), and D-dimer (OR = 4.217, 95% CI: 1.783-9.972).The nomogram demonstrated excellent discrimination, with concordance index values of 0.955 (training) and 0.954 (validation). Calibration was satisfactory (mean absolute errors: 0.076 and 0.061), and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test indicated good fit (both P > .05). Receiver operating characteristic analysis yielded area under the curves of 0.955 (95% CI: 0.865-1.000) and 0.954 (95% CI: 0.914-0.994), respectively. Sensitivity and specificity were 0.714/0.875 (training) and 0.770/1.000 (validation), confirming robust predictive performance and clinical utility. The nomogram accurately predicts therapeutic efficacy for preoperative DVT in elderly hip fracture patients, offering a valuable tool for clinical decision-making.
