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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the influencing factors of unplanned readmission in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) within 1 year after discharge, construct a risk prediction model and evaluate its effect.

methodsIn this prospective study, we included 719 individuals diagnosed with COPD, identify optimal predictors of unplanned readmission and developed a nomogram prediction model. The model's performance was assessed through receiver operator characteristic curves, calibration plots, and decision curve analysis.

resultsOf 607 patients included in the final analysis, the incidence of readmission within one year was 40.0%. Multivariate regression analysis identified several risk factors for readmission: white blood cell count (WBC; OR = 1.07, 95% CI = 1.03-1.12, P = 0.002), disease duration over 10 years (OR = 1.36, 95% CI = 0.75-2.462, P = 0.043), the number of acute exacerbation in the past 1 year (OR = 1.12, 95% CI = 1.05-1.20, P = 0.001), and concurrent respiratory failure (OR = 1.50, 95% CI = 0.97-2.33, P = 0.047). The nomogram model based on these factors exhibited an AUC of 0.719 in the model group and 0.676 in the validation group. The calibration curve showed a good degree of fit, and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test confirmed no significant deviations in model fit (P > 0.05). The clinical decision curve demonstrated that both the model and the validation groups provided better net benefits than the treat-all tactics or the treat-none tactics with threshold probability values of 0.25-0.95 and 0.25-0.85.

conclusionThe developed model, integrating WBC count, disease duration, number of acute exacerbations within the past year and concurrent respiratory failure, effectively predicts the risk of one-year unplanned readmission in patients with COPD.
