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

Background: VE is a central nervous system infection of viral origin, and remains an important disease burden in recent years. Early identification of VE patients and timely interventions are crucial for optimizing clinical outcomes. Objective: This study aims to construct a predictive model for early detection of VE patients. Methods: The study retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 160 VE and 131 non-VE patients from China between January 2022 and March 2025. Data were split into training (70%, 203 cases) and validation (30%, 88 cases) cohorts. Predictor variables were identified via logistic regression analyses, and predictive models were established and validated. Model discrimination was assessed using ROC curves, calibration via H-L test and calibration curves, and clinical applicability via DCA. A nomogram was developed for result visualization. Results: Six covariates (ALB, Conclusion: This study's predictive model reliably identifies VE patients, offering a scientific basis for clinical decision-making and improving patient outcomes.
