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

objectiveGiven the high morbidity and mortality of patients with sepsis-associated thrombocytopenia (SATP) in the intensive care unit, this study retrospectively analysed the influencing factors for poor prognosis in patients with SATP using the MIMIC database, constructed a nomogram model and verified the predictive performance of the model.

designA retrospective cohort study.

settingThe data from MIMIC-IV, V.2.2. CLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS: The clinical features of SATP, including demographics, comorbidities, vital signs, laboratory parameters, treatments and clinical management, were extracted from the MIMIC-IV database.

methods1409 patients with SATP were included in this study and randomly divided into a training set and a validation set in a ratio of 7:3. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator and multivariable Cox regression analysis were used to determine the optimal predictors and establish a prediction model. The receiver operating characteristic curve, calibration curve and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to verify the accuracy and application value of the model.

resultsThe nomogram model incorporates nine factors, including clinical characteristics, laboratory test indicators, comorbidities and treatment methods, which were identified as predictors of SATP and used to construct the model. The area under the curve of the model was 0.868 (95% CI: 0.794 to 0.942) in the training set and 0.836 (95% CI: 0.681 to 0.991) in the validation set. The calibration curve and DCA confirmed the clinical application value of the nomogram.

conclusionsThe constructed nomogram for predicting patients with SATP has favourable predictive ability and is helpful to further optimise clinical management strategies.
