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

backgroundThe purpose of this study was to develop a predictive model that could accurately predict the malignancy of the pulmonary ground-glass nodules (GGNs) and the invasiveness of the malignant GGNs.

methodsThe authors built two binary classification models that could predict the malignancy of the pulmonary GGNs and the invasiveness of the malignant GGNs.

resultsResults of our developed model showed random forest could achieve 95.1% accuracy to predict the malignancy of GGNs and 83.0% accuracy to predict the invasiveness of the malignant GGNs.

conclusionsThe malignancy and invasiveness of pulmonary GGNs could be predicted by random forest.
