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

The gold standard for cystic fibrosis (CF) diagnosis is the determination of chloride concentration in sweat. Current testing methodology takes up to 3 h to complete and has recognized shortcomings on its diagnostic accuracy. We present an alternative method for the identification of CF by combining desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and a machine-learning algorithm based on gradient boosted decision trees to analyze perspiration samples. This process takes as little as 2 min, and we determined its accuracy to be 98 ± 2% by cross-validation on analyzing 277 perspiration samples. With the introduction of statistical bootstrap, our method can provide a confidence estimate of our prediction, which helps diagnosis decision-making. We also identified important peaks by the feature selection algorithm and assigned the chemical structure of the metabolites by high-resolution and/or tandem mass spectrometry. We inspected the correlation between mild and severe CFTR gene mutation types and lipid profiles, suggesting a possible way to realize personalized medicine with this noninvasive, fast, and accurate method.
