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 incidence and mortality rates of lung cancers are different between females and males. Therefore, sex information should be an important part of how to train and optimize a diagnostic model. However, most of the existing studies do not fully utilize this information. This study carried out a comparative investigation between sex-specific models and sex-independent models. Three feature selection algorithms and five classifiers were utilized to evaluate the contribution of the sex information to the detection of early-stage lung cancers. Both lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) showed that the sex-specific models outperformed the sex-independent detection of early-stage lung cancers. The Venn plots suggested that females and males shared only a few transcriptomic biomarkers of early-stage lung cancers. Our experimental data suggested that sex information should be included in optimizing disease diagnosis models.
