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: To develop and validate a nomogram incorporating nutritional risk for predicting 31-day unplanned readmission in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: This retrospective study included 1,627 T2DM patients. A nomogram was constructed using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression on a training set ( Results: The 31-day unplanned readmission rate was 18.50%. Six predictors were identified: smoking history, peripheral vascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (PVD in T2DM), diabetes duration, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), nutritional risk and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR). The nomogram showed good discrimination in both training (AUC = 0.846; 95% CI: 0.814-0.878) and internal hold-out set (AUC = 0.817; 95% CI: 0.761-0.873), with acceptable calibration. Conclusion: In this single-center retrospective cohort, the nomogram demonstrated potential for predicting 31-day unplanned readmission in T2DM patients by integrating clinical, metabolic, inflammatory, and nutritional dimensions. Routine nutritional assessment at admission may help identify high-risk individuals; however, external validation in geographically and temporally diverse populations is necessary before clinical application.
