A Nomogram Predicting Decreased Quality of Life in Patients with Keloids.
Article in Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology, 2026. 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: Most keloid patients have a low quality of life (QoL), which affects their prognosis. Our aim was to identify risk factors for a decreased QoL in patients with keloids and to create a predictive nomogram for this condition. Patients and Methods: The Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) is used to assess patients' QoL, with a DLQI score >10 indicated a decreased QoL. We used multivariate logistic regression to assess QoL in patients with keloids for predictive modeling. We assessed the predictive and clinical value of the nomograms using the consistency index (C-index), area under the curve (AUC), and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: The risk factors that associated with a decreased QoL in patients with keloids are smoking (OR = 2.463, 95% CI = 1.031-5.880, Conclusion: Our study found that people with keloids currently experience a poor QoL, and that nomograms can assist dermatologists in predicting which patients are at higher risk for a further decline in QoL.
