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

backgroundPeripheral artery disease (PAD) is a significant burden, particularly among patients with severe disease requiring invasive treatment. We applied a general Machine Learning (ML) workflow and investigated if a multi-dimensional marker set of standard clinical parameters can identify patients in need of vascular intervention without specialized intra-hospital diagnostics.

methodsThis is a retrospective study involving patients with stable PAD (sPAD, Fontaine Class I and II,

resultsML has enabled a generation of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) PAD score (AI-PAD) that successfully divided sPAD from unPAD patients (high AI-PAD in sPAD, low AI-PAD in unPAD, cutoff at 50 AI-PAD units). Furthermore, the probability score positively coincided with gold-standard intra-hospital mean ankle-brachial index (ABI).

conclusionAI-based tools may be promising to enable the correct identification of patients with unstable PAD by using existing clinical information, thus supplementing clinical decision making. Additional studies in larger prospective cohorts are necessary to determine the usefulness of this approach in comparison to standard diagnostic measures.
