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

Wasp venom-induced rhabdomyolysis (RM) is a serious complication associated with poor clinical prognosis. However, predictive models for RM after wasp stings remain limited. This study aimed to develop and internally validate a clinical prediction model for RM in patients with wasp stings. This multicenter retrospective cohort study included 607 patients admitted to five tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province for wasp stings between February 2015 and December 2020. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression and multivariate logistic regression were used to identify independent predictors of RM. A nomogram incorporating nine predictors was constructed. Model performance was assessed by internal validation and decision curve analysis (DCA). Among the 607 patients, 178 (29.3%) developed RM. Nine predictors were included in the final model: age, sting species, number of stings, tea-colored urine, white blood cell count (WBC), lactate dehydrogenase( LDH), total bilirubin (TBIL), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and month of injury. The nomogram showed excellent discrimination, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.949 (95% CI, 0.9319-0.9655) and a concordance index (C-index) of 0.948. DCA suggested good potential clinical utility of the model. We developed a nomogram for early prediction of RM risk after wasp stings using readily available clinical variables. This model may help identify high-risk patients at an early stage and support timely clinical management.
