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

Background: Logistic regression models are widely used in clinical prediction, but their application in resource-poor settings or areas without internet access can be challenging. Nomograms can serve as a useful visualization tool to speed up the calculation procedure, but existing nomogram generators often require the input of raw data, inhibiting the transformation of established logistic regression models that only provide coefficients. Developing a tool that can generate nomograms directly from logistic regression coefficients would greatly increase usability and facilitate the translation of research findings into patient care. Methods: We designed and developed simpleNomo, an open-source Python toolbox that enables the construction of nomograms for logistic regression models. Uniquely, simpleNomo allows for the creation of nomograms using only the coefficients of the model. Further, we also devoloped an online website for nomogram generation. Results: simpleNomo properly maintains the predictive ability of the original logistic regression model and easy to follow. simpleNomo is compatible with Python 3 and can be installed through Python Package Index (PyPI) or https://github.com/Hhy096/nomogram. Conclusion: This paper presents simpleNomo, an open-source Python toolbox for generating nomograms for logistic regression models. It facilitates the process of transferring established logistic regression models to nomograms and can further convert more existing works into practical use.
