Risk factor analysis and nomogram development for advanced-stage hepatic fibrosis in patients with Wilson's disease.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Purpose: To investigate the risk factors for advanced-stage hepatic fibrosis in Wilson's disease (WD), and developed a predictive nomogram to screen high risk patients with WD for early prevention and intervention. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed clinical data from WD in The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chinese medicine between January 2010 and December 2024. Patients were divided into advanced hepatic fibrosis and non-advanced fibrosis groups according liver stiffness measurement. Identification of the independent risk factors for advanced hepatic fibrosis in WD was conducted through univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses, followed by the construction of the clinical predictive model. The discriminative power, calibration, and clinical utility of the model were validated by receiver operating characteristic, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: The study cohort comprised 221 patients. Notably, CER, LN, HDL-C, TG, PLT, Sex, and Apo-A1 were identified as independent risk factors for advanced hepatic fibrosis in WD patients undergoing long-term maintenance therapy. The C-index demonstrated excellent discriminative capacity [training cohort: area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.918 at 36 months, 0.914 at 60 months, and 0.935 at 84 months; validation cohort: AUC values of 0.906, 0.917, and 0.888 at corresponding time points]. Calibration curves exhibited strong alignment between predicted and observed outcomes. The DCA quantified clinical benefit probability thresholds across varying time intervals. Conclusion: The nomogram predictive model demonstrated high accuracy and provides a practical tool for the early identification and risk prediction of advanced hepatic fibrosis in WD patients undergoing long-term maintenance therapy.
