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.
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: This study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram for predicting the risk of threatened abortion after in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Methodology: Clinical records of 409 patients who underwent IVF-ET treatment due to tubal factors in Huzhou Maternity & Child Health Care Hospital from January 2017 to May 2025 were retrospectively selected. Patients were randomly assigned to the training (n=286) and validation (n=123) cohorts in a 7:3 ratio. The Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) method and multivariate logistic regression were applied to identify independent risk factors, which were then used to construct a nomogram for predicting the risk of threatened abortion. The nomogram was validated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) and decision curve analysis (DCA) to assess its clinical application value. Results: Female age, endometrial thickness, number of embryos transferred, and progesterone (P) level 14 days after IVF-ET were identified as risk factors for threatened abortion (P<0.05). Based on the four independent factors, a nomogram was developed. The nomogram demonstrated sufficient predictive accuracy, with AUC values of 0.822 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.737-0.907) and 0.822 (95% CI: 0.724-0.919) in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. The validation results showed that the consistency index (C-index) for the training and validation cohorts was 0.802 (95% CI: 0.715-0.889) and 0.807 (95% CI: 0.719-0.895), respectively. The calibration curves for the two cohorts are closer to the diagonal (the ideal curve). Conclusions: The established nomogram for threatened abortion after IVF-ET has good predictive value and helps identify high-risk populations.
