A nomogram model for predicting acute kidney injury in critically ill patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding: a study based on the MIMIC-IV database and external validation.
Article in BMC gastroenterology, 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
backgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) represents a prevalent and critical complication of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). Predicting AKI is essential for timely intervention.
methodsThis retrospective research leveraged data from the MIMIC-IV 3.1 database and data from patients hospitalized at the Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University (HMUSH). The Boruta algorithm was employed in the training set to determine independent predictors of AKI. The study developed a nomogram based on logistic regression results to forecast AKI in UGIB. Its performance was evaluated using ROC curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA) in training, validation, and external validation sets.
resultsThis study incorporated 2,020 patients suffering from UGIB and 421 participants admitted to HMUSH. The Boruta algorithm identified 9 key predictors of AKI: age, creatinine-to-albumin ratio (CAR), prothrombin time (PT), alanine transaminase (AST) to aspartate aminotransferase (ALT) ratio (DeRitis), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), total bilirubin (TBIL), platelet count (PLT), pneumonia, and ascites. A nomogram was plotted utilizing these independent predictors. The nomogram demonstrated robust accuracy with area under the curve values of 0.776, 0.744, and 0.785 for the training set, validation set, and external validation set, respectively. Calibration curves disclosed good agreement between predicted and observed incidence rates of AKI. Additionally, the DCA disclosed net clinical benefit of the nomogram.
conclusionThis study presented a tool developed to forecast the likelihood of developing AKI in individuals with UGIB. The tool is potentially useful for guiding timely intervention and improving clinical results. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
