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

Objective: This study aims to develop and validate a nomogram model that integrates autoantibodies and systemic inflammation markers to predict the risk of bone metastases in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Additionally, we propose a novel approach for risk stratification and adjunctive assessment of bone metastases in NSCLC patients, aiming to support clinical decision-making. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 323 NSCLC patients treated at the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from January 2020 to July 2024. Comprehensive clinical, laboratory, and imaging data were collected. Key predictors included histology, TNM stage, ANA fluorescence patterns, anti-extractable nuclear antigens (anti-ENAs), SIRI, LWR, and anti-AMA-M2. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression was used for feature selection, and variables with non-zero coefficients were incorporated into a nomogram. The model was validated internally using receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC) analysis, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). The incremental value of novel biomarkers was assessed using NRI and IDI. Results: Seven variables were retained in the final nomogram, including histology, TNM stage, anti-ENAs, SIRI, LWR, anti-AMA-M2, and ANA fluorescence pattern. The nomogram demonstrated good discriminatory ability, with the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.921 (95% CI: 0.887-0.955) in the training cohort and 0.870 (95% CI: 0.795-0.945) in the validation cohort. Calibration plots showed good agreement between predicted and observed outcomes. Decision Curve Analysis (DCA) indicated that the nomogram provided a higher net benefit compared to "treat-all" and "treat-none" strategies across a range of threshold probabilities. The inclusion of novel biomarkers significantly improved the model's predictive performance, as evidenced by continuous NRI (0.822, Conclusion: The nomogram developed in this study offers a reliable tool for individualized risk prediction of bone metastasis in NSCLC patients. Incorporating autoantibody and inflammation-related biomarkers significantly enhances the predictive performance, which may help in risk stratification and early intervention.
