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

Machine learning (ML) is a useful tool for advancing our understanding of the patterns and significance of biomedical data. Given the growing trend on the application of ML techniques in precision medicine, here we present an ML technique which predicts the likelihood of complete remission (CR) in patients diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In this study, we explored the question of whether ML algorithms designed to analyze gene-expression patterns obtained through RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) can be used to accurately predict the likelihood of CR in pediatric AML patients who have received induction therapy. We employed tests of statistical significance to determine which genes were differentially expressed in the samples derived from patients who achieved CR after 2 courses of treatment and the samples taken from patients who did not benefit. We tuned classifier hyperparameters to optimize performance and used multiple methods to guide our feature selection as well as our assessment of algorithm performance. To identify the model which performed best within the context of this study, we plotted receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Using the top 75 genes from the
