Development and internal validation of a multivariable nomogram for predicting postoperative complications and prolonged length of hospital stay in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery: a single-center prospective cohort study.

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
Objective: To develop and internally validate a nomogram prediction model for postoperative complications and prolonged length of hospital stay in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery based on the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery concept. Methods: We selected 399 lung cancer patients who underwent thoracoscopic surgery at the Thoracic Surgery Department of the Affiliated Brain Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from June 2022 to April 2023. Postoperative complications and length of stay were recorded. A nomogram prediction model was established using multivariate logistic regression analysis based on optimized features from the LASSO regression model. The model's diagnostic ability was evaluated using the ROC curve and C-index. Results: Multivariate logistic regression identified factors such as preoperative prediction, early rehabilitation nursing, and bed activity time as significant for postoperative complications and hospitalization time ( Conclusions: This model has high clinical prediction ability. Nursing interventions based on rapid rehabilitation surgery benefit lung cancer patients post-thoracoscopic surgery by reducing complications and shortening hospital stays. The prediction model, combined with basic clinical data, aids in creating better treatment plans.
