A nomogram to predict the risk of venous thromboembolism in patients with colon cancer in China.
Article in Cancer medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
objectiveTo create a nomogram for predicting the likelihood of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in colon cancer patients from China.
methodsThe data of colon cancer patients from Chongqing University Cancer Hospital between 2019 and 2022 were analyzed. Patients were divided into training set and internal validation set by random split-sample method in a split ratio of 7:3. The univariable and multivariable logistic analysis gradually identified the independent risk factors for VTE. A nomogram was created using all the variables that had a significance level of p < 0.05 in the multivariable logistic analysis and those with clinical significance. Calibration curves and clinical decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to assess model's fitting performance and clinical value. Harrell's C-index (concordance statistic) and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC) were used to evaluate the predictive effectiveness of models.
resultsA total of 1996 patients were ultimately included. There were 1398 patients in the training set and 598 patients in the internal validation set. The nomogram included age, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, hypertension, activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time, platelet, absolute lymphocyte count, and D-dimer. The C-index of nomogram and Khorana score were 0.754 (95% CI 0.711-0.798), 0.520 (95% CI 0.477-0.563) in the training cohort and 0.713 (95% CI 0.643-0.784), 0.542 (95% CI 0.473-0.612) in the internal validation cohort.
conclusionsWe have established and validated a nomogram to predict the VTE risk of colon cancer patients in China, which encompasses a diverse age range, a significant population size, and various clinical factors. It facilitates the identification of high-risk groups and may enable the implementation of targeted preventive measures.
