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

aimThe aim of the study was to identify predictors for 3-month poor functional outcome or death after aSAH and develop precise and easy-to-use nomogram models.

methodsThe study was performed at the department of neurology emergency in Beijing Tiantan Hospital. A total of 310 aSAH patients were enrolled between October 2020 and September 2021 as a derivation cohort, while a total of 208 patients were admitted from October 2021 to March 2022 as an external validation cohort. Clinical outcomes included poor functional outcome defined as modified Rankin Scale score (mRS) of 4-6 or all-cause death at 3 months. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) analysis, as well as multivariable regression analysis, were applied to select independent variables associated with poor functional outcome or death and then to construct two nomogram models. Model performance were evaluated through discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness in both derivation cohort and external validation cohort.

resultsThe nomogram model to predict poor functional outcome included seven predictors: age, heart rate, Hunt-Hess grade on admission, lymphocyte, C-reactive protein (CRP), platelet, and direct bilirubin levels. It demonstrated high discrimination ability (AUC, 0.845; 95% CI: 0.787-0.903), satisfactory calibration curve, and good clinical usefulness. Similarly, the nomogram model combining age, neutrophil, lymphocyte, CRP, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels, and treatment methods to predict all-cause death also revealed excellent discrimination ability (AUC, 0.944; 95% CI: 0.910-0.979), satisfactory calibration curve, and clinical effectiveness. Internal validation showed the bias-corrected C-index for poor functional outcome and death was 0.827 and 0.927, respectively. When applied to the external validation dataset, both two nomogram models exhibited high discrimination capacity [poor functional outcome: AUC = 0.795 (0.716-0.873); death: AUC = 0.811 (0.707-0.915)], good calibration ability, and clinical usefulness.

conclusionsNomogram models constructed for predicting 3-month poor functional outcome or death after aSAH are precise and easily applicable, which can help physicians to identify patients at risk, guide decision-making, and provide new directions for future studies to explore the novel treatment targets.
