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

backgroundThe mechanism of Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is complicated and difficult to prevent due to factors such as bone marrow invasion, therapy, and immune-mediated effects. This study aims to establish a nomogram model for predicting the risk of thrombosis in lymphoma patients undergoing chemotherapy, which has been increasing over the past 30 years.

methodsThe data of lymphoma patients from the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Chongqing University in China between 2018 and 2020 were analyzed. This included age, sex, body mass index, ECOG score, histological type, Ann Arbour Stage, white blood cells count, haemoglobin level, platelet count, D-dimer level, and chemotherapy cycle. Univariate and multivariate cox analysis was used to determine the risk factors for VTE. Characteristic variables were selected to construct a nomogram model which was then evaluated using ROC curve and calibration.

resultsAge, sex, PLT, D-dimer and chemotherapy cycle were considered as independent influencing factors of VTE. The mean (standard deviation) of the C index, AUC and Royston D statistics of 1000 cross-validations of the Nomogram model were 0.78 (0.01), 0.81 (0.01) and 1.61(0.07), respectively. It indicates a good calibration degree and applicability value as shown by the calibration curve. The DCA curve showed a rough threshold range of 0.05-0.60 with a good model.

conclusionsWe have established and validated a nomogram model for predicting the risk of thrombosis in lymphoma patients. This model can assess the risk of thrombosis in each individual patient, enabling the identification of high-risk groups and targeted preventive treatment.
