1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeTo analyze the risk factors for falls in elderly maintenance hemodialysis patients, construct a nomogram prediction model and validate the application.

backgroundElderly maintenance hemodialysis patients face a high risk of falls, and there are fewer and less effective fall-specific assessment tools.

methodA total of 871 elderly hemodialysis patients from 9 hospitals in Chengdu City from October 2023 to December 2024 were selected as the study objects. Baseline characteristics and fall outcomes of patients in the fall group and non-fall group were recorded and compared through 6-month follow-up. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was employed to identify independent risk factors, and construct the nomogram prediction model and complete the internal verification of the model. 218 elderly maintenance hemodialysis patients from three other hospitals in Chengdu City were selected for a 6-month follow-up of falls from January to February 2024 to complete the external validation of the model.

resultThe incidence of falls in elderly maintenance hemodialysis patients was 31.96%, and logistic regression analysis showed that age, sex, visual impairment, intradialytic hypotension, cognitive impairment and depression were independent risk factors for falls. Both internal and external validation of the model demonstrated area under the curve greater than 0.80. Furthermore, calibration plots, the Hosmer-Lemeshow test, and clinical decision curves all demonstrated that the model had good calibration and clinical utility.

conclusionThe nomogram constructed based on the above risk factors can provide scientific basis and practical tools for early clinical identification of high-risk groups of falls.
