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: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is often complicated by pulmonary hypertension (PH), leading to symptom exacerbation, increased mortality, and poor prognosis. Early identification of high-risk patients is crucial for timely intervention. This study aims to construct and validate a machine learning-based predictive model for COPD patients with PH. Patients and Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 537 COPD patients admitted to Anhui NO.2 Provincial People's Hospital from December 2023 to November 2025. The patients were randomly divided into a model construction group (n=376) and an internal validation group (n=161) at a ratio of 7:3. Clinical and laboratory data were collected. LASSO regression, a method that effectively selects the most relevant predictors by shrinking less important variables to zero, was used to screen predictive variables. This was followed by the construction of a nomogram model through multivariate logistic regression. Model performance was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), calibration curve, and clinical impact curve. Results: LASSO regression identified six independent predictors: Duration of COPD, Long-Term Domiciliary Oxygen Therapy, systemic inflammatory response index, red blood cell distribution width, arterial oxygen partial pressure, and B-type natriuretic peptide. The nomogram model demonstrated excellent discriminative power, with an AUC of 0.812 (95% CI: 0.762-0.863) in the model group and 0.826 (95% CI: 0.754-0.897) in the validation group. Calibration curves and clinical impact curves showed high consistency between predicted and observed values. Conclusion: Our study constructed and internally validated a nomogram model based on LASSO regression, incorporating six easily accessible clinical variables, which can be used to predict the risk of PH in COPD patients. The model facilitates early clinical identification of high-risk patients, risk stratification, and implementation of individualized management.
