A Comprehensive Nomogram Integrating Phonocardiogram and Echocardiogram Features for the Diagnosis of Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction.
Article in Clinical cardiology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundHeart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is associated with high hospitalization and mortality rates, representing a significant healthcare burden. This study aims to utilize various information including echocardiogram and phonocardiogram to construct and validate a nomogram, assisting in clinical decision-making.
methodsThis study analyzed 204 patients (68 HFpEF and 136 non-HFpEF) from the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University. A total of 49 features were integrated and used, including phonocardiogram, echocardiogram features, and clinical parameters. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was used to select the optimal matching factors, and a stepwise logistic regression was employed to determine independent risk factors and develop a nomogram. Model performance was evaluated by the area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC), calibration curve, decision curve analysis (DCA), and clinical impact curve (CIC).
resultsThe nomogram was constructed using five significant indicators, including NT-proBNP (OR = 4.689, p = 0.015), E/e' (OR = 1.219, p = 0.032), LAVI (OR = 1.088, p < 0.01), D/S (OR = 0.014, p < 0.01), and QM1 (OR = 1.058, p < 0.01), and showed a better AUC of 0.945 (95% CI = 0.908-0.982) in the training set and 0.933 (95% CI = 0.873-0.992) in the testing set compared to conventional nomogram without phonocardiogram features. The calibration curve and Hosmer-Lemeshow test demonstrated no statistical significance in the training and testing sets (p = 0.814 and p = 0.736), indicating the nomogram was well-calibrated. The DCA and CIC results confirmed favorable clinical usefulness.
conclusionThe nomogram, integrating phonocardiogram and echocardiogram features, enhances HFpEF diagnostic efficiency, offering a valuable tool for clinical decision-making.
