Ascites complications risk factors of decompensated cirrhosis patients: logistic regression and prediction model.
Article in BMC gastroenterology, 2025. 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
objectiveThe study mainly aim at exploring the ascites risk factors among decompensated cirrhosis patients via constructing the prediction model of ascites incidence.
methodsHere, we recruited 148 decompensated cirrhosis patients for analysis, their laboratory tests and complications recorded. T-test, chi-square test, single-factor logistic regression, multi-factor logistic regression, and nomogram model were used to investigate the ascites occurred factors in decompensated cirrhosis patients with ascites. To validate the data analysis results, we applied the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA) to evaluate the discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness of the prediction model, respectively.
resultsSerum creatinine levels were higher in the cirrhotic ascites group than in the non-ascites group. The ascites group had lower albumin and serum sodium levels, as well as a lower incidence of variceal bleeding and varicose veins compared to the non-ascites group.
conclusionVaricose veins, variceal bleeding, and serum sodium levels are significant factors contributing to ascites development in cirrhosis. Furthermore, decreased serum albumin and elevated creatinine levels are important indicators of poor prognosis. Nomograms can improve clinicians' informed decision-making for patients with decompensated cirrhosis, ultimately reducing ascites risk.
