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

Rapidly identifying methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) with high integration in the current workflow is critical in clinical practices. We proposed a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS)-based machine learning model for rapid MRSA prediction. The model was evaluated on a prospective test and four external clinical sites. For the data set comprising 20,359 clinical isolates, the area under the receiver operating curve of the classification model was 0.78 to 0.88. These results were further interpreted using shapely additive explanations and presented using the pseudogel method. The important MRSA feature,
