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

Objective: To construct a nomogram model for individualized prediction of pulmonary fungal infection risk in lung cancer patients. Methods: A total of 483 lung cancer patients hospitalized between August 2021 and August 2024 were retrospectively analyzed and randomly divided into a modeling group (n=338) and validation group (n=145). Patients in the modeling group were categorized based on the presence or absence of pulmonary fungal infection. Clinical data were analyzed using logistic regression, and a nomogram was developed using R software. Model performance was assessed using ROC curves, the Hosmer-Lemeshow (H-L) test, and Decision Curve Analysis (DCA). Results: Pulmonary fungal infections occurred in 99 out of 483 patients (20.50%). In the modeling group, the infection rate was 21.30%. Multivariate logistic regression identified age, smoking history, diabetes, glucocorticoid use, type of antimicrobial agents, invasive procedures, and length of hospitalization as independent risk factors (P<0.05). The Area Under the Curve (AUC) was 0.933 in the modeling group and 0.954 in the validation group. H-L tests indicated good model calibration (P>0.05). DCA demonstrated high clinical utility when the predicted probability ranged from 0.08 to 0.93. Conclusion: The nomogram based on key clinical factors effectively predicts the risk of pulmonary fungal infection in lung cancer patients and is a promising tool for assisting in early identification and intervention.
