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

Precision medicine research designed to reduce health disparities often involves studying multi-level datasets to understand how diseases manifest disproportionately in one group over another, and how scarce health care resources can be directed precisely to those most at risk for disease. In this article, we provide a structured tutorial for medical and public health researchers on the application of machine learning methods to conduct precision medicine research designed to reduce health disparities. We review key terms and concepts for understanding machine learning papers, including supervised and unsupervised learning, regularization, cross-validation, bagging, and boosting. Metrics are reviewed for evaluating machine learners and major families of learning approaches, including tree-based learning, deep learning, and ensemble learning. We highlight the advantages and disadvantages of different learning approaches, describe strategies for interpreting "black box" models, and demonstrate the application of common methods in an example dataset with open-source statistical code in R.
