Development and validation of a nomogram for predicting cognitive frailty in patients on cancer.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectiveTo investigate the current status of cognitive frailty in older cancer patients and construct a risk prediction model for cognitive frailty in older cancer patients.
methodsUsing convenience sampling, 308 older cancer patients from four wards in the oncology department of a grade-A tertiary hospital in Jiangsu Province from November 2023 to May 2024 were selected as the research subjects, including a training set of 215 cases (70%) and a validation set of 93 cases (30%). Data were collected through a general information questionnaire, Activities of Daily Living Scale, Mini-Nutritional Assessment Scale, Geriatric Depression Rating Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Fried Frailty Scale, and Mini-Mental State Examination. A prediction model was established using Logistic regression, and a visual nomogram was constructed using R software. The model's discriminative ability and calibration were evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and calibration curve, respectively, and the clinical effectiveness was assessed using the clinical decision curve (DCA).
resultsThe incidence of cognitive frailty in older cancer patients was 26.7%. Logistic regression analysis revealed that education level, depression, sleep disorders, and malnutrition were influencing factors for cognitive frailty (P < 0.05). The Hosmer-Leme-show test of the nomogram model showed
conclusionsOlder cancer patients are at risk of cognitive frailty. The risk prediction model constructed in this study can conveniently and accurately predict the risk of cognitive frailty in older cancer patients, providing an important reference for clinical medical staff to conduct early assessment, screening, and intervention.
