Development of nomogram model based on LASSO-Logistic regression for predicting postoperative undernutrition to complex anorectal malformation: a pilot exploratory study.
Article in BMC gastroenterology, 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
backgroundNutritional problems in patients with anorectal malformation (ARM) after anorectoplasty have not received sufficient attention. This study aimed to establish prediction model of postoperative undernutrition for patients with complex ARM.
methodsRetrospective review of 104 patients with complex ARM was conducted with assessments of clinical data. Lasso-Logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent factors, and then establish a Nomogram model for predicting postoperative undernutrition. Harrell’s concordance index and calibration curves were applied to evaluate the performance of this model. R software was used for statistical analysis.
resultsOf the 104 patients, the proportion of malnutrition was 28.85% (30/104). Lasso-Logistic regression analysis showed that non-parental caregivers (Odds ratio [OR]: 11.20), undernutrition at anorectoplasty (OR: 4.101), surgery for other systemic malformation (OR: 8.378), and feeding method (artificial, OR: 25.320) were independently associated with postoperative undernutrition (all P < 0.05), and Nomogram model was developed based on these determinants. The area under the receiver operator characteristic curve of this cohort was 0.877 and it still was 0.906 through bootstrapping validation (n = 1000). The H-L goodness-of-fit test showed that there was no significant difference between the predicted and actual incidence of postoperative undernutrition (χ2 = 7.55, P = 0.273). Meanwhile, the calibration curves indicated that the forecast was in good agreement with the actual situation. Decision curve showed that when the probability threshold of Nomogram model predicting malnutrition was >0.03, application of the model would add net benefit compared to either the treat-all strategy or the treat-none strategy.
conclusionThis Nomogram model for predicting postoperative undernutrition of complex ARM patients showed desirable accuracy and discrimination for clinicians, aiding the early initiation of preventative interventions for undernutrition.
