A New Approach of Fatigue Classification Based on Data of Tongue and Pulse With Machine Learning.
Article in Frontiers in physiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
backgroundFatigue is a common and subjective symptom, which is associated with many diseases and suboptimal health status. A reliable and evidence-based approach is lacking to distinguish disease fatigue and non-disease fatigue. This study aimed to establish a method for early differential diagnosis of fatigue, which can be used to distinguish disease fatigue from non-disease fatigue, and to investigate the feasibility of characterizing fatigue states in a view of tongue and pulse data analysis.
methodsTongue and Face Diagnosis Analysis-1 (TFDA-1) instrument and Pulse Diagnosis Analysis-1 (PDA-1) instrument were used to collect tongue and pulse data. Four machine learning models were used to perform classification experiments of disease fatigue vs. non-disease fatigue.
resultsThe results showed that all the four classifiers over "Tongue & Pulse" joint data showed better performances than those only over tongue data or only over pulse data. The model accuracy rates based on logistic regression, support vector machine, random forest, and neural network were (85.51 ± 1.87)%, (83.78 ± 4.39)%, (83.27 ± 3.48)% and (85.82 ± 3.01)%, and with Area Under Curve estimates of 0.9160 ± 0.0136, 0.9106 ± 0.0365, 0.8959 ± 0.0254 and 0.9239 ± 0.0174, respectively.
conclusionThis study proposed and validated an innovative, non-invasive differential diagnosis approach. Results suggest that it is feasible to characterize disease fatigue and non-disease fatigue by using objective tongue data and pulse data.
