A preliminary nomogram constructed for early diagnosis of bronchitis obliterans in children with severe pneumonia.
Article in Translational pediatrics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundTo establish and internally validate a nomogram for early diagnosis of bronchitis obliterans in children with severe pneumonia.
methodsThe diagnostic model was established using a dataset of 147 pediatric patients with severe pneumonia. The clinical characteristics of bronchitis obliterans were determined using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method. According to the results of the multivariate logistic regression analysis, an individual nomogram was established, the C-index, calibration plot, and decision curve analysis were used to evaluate the performance of the nomogram.
resultsAdenovirus infection, length of symptoms, percentage of macrophages in bronchial alveolar lavage fluid, and mucosal abnormalities were all important clinical characteristics included in the nomogram. According to internal validation, the C-index of nomogram was 0.91 (C-index, 0.878 to 0.942), suggesting that the nomogram has excellent discrimination. The nomogram showed good calibration with the Hosmer-Lemeshow test demonstrating no statistical significance. The net reclassification index was 0.2022 (95% CI, 0.008 to 0.3968; P=0.042), and the integrated discrimination improvement was 0.0975 (95% CI, 0.026 to 0.169; P=0.008). Decision curve analysis showed that the nomogram is clinically useful.
conclusionsThis nomogram can help clinicians make early diagnoses of bronchitis obliterans in children for whom membranous tissue has not yet formed.
