Risk assessment tool for anemia of chronic disease in systemic lupus erythematosus: a prediction model.
Article in Clinical rheumatology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveThis study aims to develop a predictive model for estimating the likelihood of anemia of chronic disease (ACD) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and to elucidate the relationship between various factors and ACD
methodsIndividuals diagnosed with SLE for at least one year were enrolled and categorized into two groups: those with ACD and those without anemia symptoms. Patients were randomly assigned to training and test sets at an 8:2 ratio. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method was used to select predictors, followed by logistic regression for modeling. Model performance was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA) for both training and test sets.
resultsThe study included a total of 216 patients, with 172 in the training set and 44 in the test set. LASSO identified 6 variables for constructing the predictive model, resulting in an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.833 (95% CI, 0.773-0.892) in the training set and 0.861 (95% CI, 0.750-0.972) in the test set. Calibration curves indicated consistency between expected and observed probabilities. DCA indicated that the model yielded a net benefit with threshold probabilities ranging from 20% to 90% in the training set and from 10% to 80% in the test set.
conclusionThis study presents a predictive model for assessing the risk of ACD in SLE patients. The model effectively captures the underlying mechanism of ACD in SLE and empowers clinicians to make well-informed treatment adjustments. Key Points • Development of a New Predictive Model: This study introduces a new predictive model to evaluate the likelihood of anemia of chronic disease (ACD) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The model utilizes routine laboratory parameters to identify high-risk individuals, addressing a significant gap in current clinical practice. • Reflection of Potential Mechanisms for ACD Development: By incorporating the factors needed to construct the predictive model, this study also sheds light on the potential mechanisms of ACD development in SLE patients.
