Machine-learning models predicting osteoarthritis associated with the lead blood level.
Article in Environmental science and pollution research international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Lead is one of the most hazardous environmental pollutants in industrialized countries; lead exposure is a risk factor for osteoarthritis (OA) in older women. Here, the performance of several machine-learning (ML) algorithms in terms of predicting the prevalence of OA associated with lead exposure was compared. A total of 2224 women aged 50 years and older who participated in the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys from 2005 to 2017 were divided into a training dataset (70%) for generation of ML models, and a test dataset (30%). We built and tested five ML algorithms, including logistic regression (LR), a k-nearest neighbor model, a decision tree, a random forest, and a support vector machine. All afforded acceptable predictive accuracy; the LR model was the most accurate and yielded the greatest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. We found that various ML models can be used to predict the risk of OA associated with lead exposure effectively, using data from population-based survey.
