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

The study aim to construct an effective model for predicting the survival period of COVID-19 patients.

methodsClinical data of 386 COVID-19 patients were collected from December 2022 to January 2023. The patients were randomly divided into training and validation cohorts in a 7:3 ratio. LASSO regression and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to identify prognostic factors, and a nomogram was constructed. Nomogram was evaluated using decision curve analysis, receiver operating characteristic curve, consistency index (c-index), and calibration curve.

results86 patients (22.3%) died. A new nomogram for predicting the survival was established based on age, resting oxygen saturation, Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), c-reactive protein-to-albumin ratio (CAR), and pneumonia visual score. The decision curve indicated high clinical applicability. The nomogram c-indexes in the training and validation cohorts were 0.846 and 0.81, respectively. The area under the curves (AUCs) for the 15-day and 30-day survival probabilities were 0.906 and 0.869 in the training cohort, and 0.851 and 0.843 in the validation cohort. The calibration curves demonstrated consistency between predicted and actual survival probabilities.

conclusionsOur nomogram has the capacity to assist clinical practitioners in estimating the survival rate of COVID-19 patients, thereby facilitating more optimal management strategies and therapeutic interventions with substantial clinical applicability.
