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

objectiveTo develop a nomogram based on electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters to predict the early diagnosis of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), enhancing diagnostic accuracy and enabling earlier clinical intervention.

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on ECG data from 168 DCM patients and 130 healthy controls (N-DCM), diagnosed between October 2022 and August 2024. Lasso regression identified 11 significant ECG features (e.g., QTc interval, PR interval, QRS duration), and a nomogram model was constructed. Model performance was evaluated using ROC curves, calibration curves, decision curves, and clinical utility curves.

resultsSignificant differences in ECG parameters were observed between DCM and N-DCM groups, with DCM patients showing elevated values across multiple parameters. The nomogram demonstrated high predictive accuracy, achieving an AUC of 0.928 in the training group and 0.862 in the validation group. Calibration and decision curve analyses confirmed good calibration and clinical utility.

conclusionThe ECG-based nomogram provides an effective tool for early DCM diagnosis, with strong predictive accuracy and clinical benefits. It shows promising applicability for large-scale screenings, contributing to earlier detection and improved patient outcomes.
