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
objectivesThe study aimed to establish a nomogram predictive model for blood transfusion after artificial femoral head replacement surgery in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures. PATIENTS AND
methodsTwo hundred five elderly patients (55 males, 150 females; mean age: 82.1±6.6 years; range, 63 to 103 years) with intertrochanteric femoral fractures who underwent artificial femoral head replacement surgery between January 2015 and May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were randomly divided into two groups: the training group (n=143) and the validation group (n=62). Within the training group, patients were further categorized into the nontransfused (n=86) and transfused (n=57) groups. Perioperative data were collected for logistic regression analysis to identify risk factors for postoperative blood transfusion. A nomogram model was developed to predict the need for blood transfusion, with assessments including the C-index, receiver operating characteristic curve, decision curve analysis, and clinical impact curve.
resultsLogistic regression analysis showed that low preoperative hemoglobin levels, high intraoperative bleeding volume, high drainage volume, the use of wire reinforcement, and history of cerebral infarction were the independent risk factors for transfusion after femoral head replacement. Both decision curve analysis and clinical impact curves indicated that the prediction model could be used as a good prediction tool for blood transfusion after artificial femoral head replacement for intertrochanteric femoral fractures in the elderly.
conclusionA nomogram prediction model that effectively assesses the risk of blood transfusion in elderly patients undergoing femoral head replacement for intertrochanteric femoral fractures was established in this study. This model demonstrated high predictive accuracy and consistency, providing a valuable tool for clinicians to identify high-risk patients and implement early interventions to reduce the need for postoperative blood transfusions.
