A risk assessment nomogram for cardiac remodeling in the multimorbid geriatric patients: a retrospective study.
Article in BMC geriatrics, 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
backgroundMyocardial remodeling is a key precursor to heart failure and adverse cardiovascular outcomes. While comorbidities such as hypertension, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease are prevalent in the geriatric population. Early identification of risk factors for myocardial remodeling could improve clinical outcomes in this population.
methodsThis retrospective study analyzed data from older patients (≥ 60 years) at Xiangya Hospital (n = 306). Clinical, echocardiographic, and biochemical data were collected, and myocardial remodeling was defined using standardized criteria. Multivariate logistic regression identified associated factors, which were incorporated into nomograms for left and right heart remodeling. Model performance was assessed using receiver operating characteristic curves, calibration plots, and decision curve analysis.
resultsThe following factors were associated with myocardial remodeling: myocardiopathy, arrhythmia, valvular disease, PCI, diabetes mellitus, smoking history, male sex, renal function (including eGFR, urea, and uric acid), thyroid dysfunction, and albumin levels.
conclusionsThis study developed nomograms that provide a practical tool for early risk stratification, enabling targeted monitoring and intervention in the geriatric population.
trial registrationThe Ethics Committees at Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, accepted the study protocol with a waiver of informed consent (No. 2025060932).
