Construction and validation of a nomogram to identify risk of sleep disorders in gastrointestinal tumor patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Article in American journal of translational research, 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
objectivesThis study aimed to identify risk factors for sleep disorders in gastrointestinal cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and to construct a predictive nomogram model, validated both internally and externally.
methodsA prospective study was conducted (ChiCTR2400085854), involving 308 patients from Jiangnan University Affiliated Central Hospital (Oct 2023-Aug 2024) for model development. Sleep quality and symptom burden were assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale-Chinese version (MSAS-Ch). Independent risk factors were identified by multivariate logistic regression. A nomogram was constructed using R software and validated internally with 1000 bootstrap resamples and externally with 103 patients (Aug-Dec 2024). Model performance was evaluated by AUC, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA).
resultsThe incidence of sleep disorders was 53.8%. Significant influencing factors included longer disease duration, more severe depression, pain, fatigue, and diarrhea, as well as lower social support and physical activity (all
conclusionsSleep disorders are prevalent among gastrointestinal cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The developed nomogram demonstrates high predictive accuracy and is a practical tool to identify high-risk patients.
