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

introductionAcute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and negatively affects both short-term and long-term prognosis in patients with CAP. However, no study has been conducted on developing a clinical tool for predicting AKI in CAP patients. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a predictive tool based on a dynamic nomogram for AKI in CAP patients.

methodsThis retrospective study was conducted from January 2014 to May 2017, and data from adult inpatients with CAP at Nanjing First Hospital were analysed. Demographic data and clinical data were obtained. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression model was used to select important variables, which were entered into logistic regression to construct the predictive model for AKI. A dynamic nomogram was based on the results of the logistic regression model. Calibration and discrimination were used to assess the performance of the dynamic nomogram. A decision curve analysis was used to assess clinical efficacy.

resultsA total of 2883 CAP patients were enrolled in this study. The median age was 76 years (IQR 63-84), and 61.3% were male. AKI developed in 827 (28.7%) patients. The LASSO regression analysis selected five important factors for AKI (albumin, acute respiratory failure, CURB-65 score, Cystatin C and white cell count), which were then entered into the logistic regression to construct the predictive model for AKI in CAP patients. The dynamic nomogram model showed good discrimination with an area under the receiver operating characteristics curve of 0.870 and good calibration with a Brier score of 0.129 and a calibration plot. The decision curve analysis showed that the dynamic nomogram prediction model had good clinical decision-making.

conclusionThis easy-to-use dynamic nomogram may help physicians predict AKI in patients with CAP.
