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

objectiveTo develop and validate a prediction model for uterine fibroid risk based on clinical characteristics and blood biochemical indicators, and to explore its risk factors and clinical application value.

methodsThis retrospective cohort study utilized data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC-IV3.0) database, including records of female patients admitted between 2008 and 2022. Patient data, including demographic information, vital signs, clinical symptoms, and laboratory test results, were collected. Patients were divided into training and validation groups in a 7:3 ratio. To avoid multicollinearity, the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression was used to select variables in the training group, and a prediction model for uterine fibroid risk was constructed using logistic regression analysis. The performance and clinical utility of the model were evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA).

resultsA total of 18,750 patients were included. LASSO regression and logistic regression identified 16 predictors closely associated with uterine fibroid risk. The calibration curve demonstrated good consistency between predicted and observed results, with no significant difference in the Hosmer-Lemeshow test (P = 1). The AUC of the model was 0.95 (95% CI, 0.95–0.96), with a sensitivity of 0.88, specificity of 0.92, and prediction accuracy of 0.89 (95% CI, 0.88–0.89). In the validation group, the AUC was 0.95 (95% CI, 0.94–0.96), with a sensitivity of 0.88, specificity of 0.93, and prediction accuracy of 0.89 (95% CI, 0.88–0.90). The model exhibited excellent predictive performance and clinical utility.

conclusionThis study developed a uterine fibroid risk prediction model using the MIMIC database. Through rigorous statistical methods, 16 predictors closely associated with uterine fibroid risk were identified, and the reliability and clinical applicability of the model were validated. This model enables individualized risk prediction for patients and provides a powerful tool for early prediction and risk reduction of uterine fibroids.
