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

introductionAge-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the main cause of visual impairment and the most important cause of blindness in older people. However, there is currently no effective treatment for this disease, so it is necessary to establish a risk model to predict AMD development.

methodsThis study included a total of 202 subjects, comprising 82 AMD patients and 120 control subjects. Sixty-six single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were identified using the MassArray assay. Considering 14 independent clinical variables as well as SNPs, four predictive models were established in the training set and evaluated by the confusion matrix, area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUROC). The difference distributions of the 14 independent clinical features between the AMD and control groups were tested using the chi-squared test. Age and diabetes were adjusted using logistic regression analysis and the "genomic-control" method was used for multiple testing correction.

resultsThree SNPs (rs10490924, OR = 1.686, genomic-control corrected p-value (GC) = 0.030; rs2338104, OR = 1.794, GC = 0.025 and rs1864163, OR = 2.125, GC = 0.038) were significant risk factors for AMD development. In the training set, four models obtained AUROC values above 0.72.

conclusionsWe believe machine learning tools will be useful for the early prediction of AMD and for the development of relevant intervention strategies.
