Predictive models for breast cancer-related lymphedema after mastectomy.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesTo establish a nomogram incorporating clinical characteristics to predict the risk of breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL).
methodsIn this retrospective study, we included 200 consecutive patients with breast cancer undergoing radical mastectomy from January 2022 to December 2023. Of these, 98 patients diagnosed with BCRL were designated as the experimental group, while 102 patients served as the control group. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to explore factors associated with clinical prognosis and to construct and validate a nomogram for predicting the risk of BCRL using R language version 4.1.2.
resultsUnivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses identified six independent risk factors: the number of lymph node dissections (95% CI: 1.425-8.956, P < 0.01), radiotherapy (95% CI: 1.134-2.341, P < 0.01), lack of functional exercise (95% CI: 4.908-19.064, P = 0.001), adjuvant and neoadjuvant chemotherapy (95% CI: 1.763-4.287, P = 0.001), BMI (95% CI: 1.075-2.897, P < 0.05), and hypertension (95% CI: 1.077-2.999, P < 0.05). Using these variables, we developed a nomogram to predict the incidence of BCRL. The AUC value for the model was 0.74 (95% CI: 0.675-0.887), indicating acceptable agreement between predicted and observed outcomes. Decision curve analysis demonstrated good positive net benefits for the model.
conclusionThe number of lymph node dissections, radiotherapy, lack of functional exercise, adjuvant and neoadjuvant chemotherapy, BMI, and hypertension are independent risk factors for BCRL. Moreover, the nomogram prediction model showed good predictive performance, high accuracy, and clinical applicability.
