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

objectivesThis study aimed to develop and validate a clinically applicable nomogram to predict depression risk in stroke patients by integrating multidimensional predictors from rehabilitation assessments, biochemical markers, and lifestyle metrics.

methodsUsing data from 767 stroke patients (training/testing: 363/242; external validation: 162) in the CHARLS database and the First Hospital of Changsha, the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression identified five predictors: Activities of Daily Living (ADL), Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL), sleep (optimal: 6-8 h), uric acid, and Triglyceride-Glucose-Body Mass Index (TyG-BMI). Multivariable logistic regression constructed the nomogram, validated through ROC analysis (AUC), calibration curves, decision curve analysis (DCA), and SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP).

resultsThe nomogram demonstrated moderate to strong discrimination, with AUC values of 0.731 (training), 0.663 (testing), and 0.748 (external validation). Calibration plots confirmed high predictive accuracy, while DCA revealed substantial clinical utility. SHAP analysis ranked sleep (protective) and ADL (risk) as top contributors. Lower uric acid and TyG-BMI correlated with higher depression risk, contrasting prior studies on TyG-BMI.

conclusionsThis model enables rapid, cost-effective depression risk stratification using routine clinical data, prioritizing high-risk stroke patients for early intervention. Despite limitations (single-country data, unaddressed stroke subtypes), it bridges predictive analytics and clinical workflows, emphasizing sleep hygiene, metabolic monitoring, and functional rehabilitation.
