Gradient Boosted Trees for Spatial Data and Its Application to Medical Imaging Data.
Article in IISE transactions on healthcare systems engineering, 2022. 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
Boosting Trees are one of the most successful statistical learning approaches that involve sequentially growing an ensemble of simple regression trees ("weak learners"). This paper proposes a gradient Boosted Trees algorithm for Spatial Data (Boost-S) with covariate information. Boost-S integrates the spatial correlation into the classical framework of eXtreme Gradient Boosting. Each tree is constructed by solving a regularized optimization problem, where the objective function takes into account the underlying spatial correlation and involves two penalty terms on tree complexity. A computationally-efficient greedy heuristic algorithm is proposed to obtain an ensemble of trees. The proposed Boost-S is applied to the spatially-correlated FDG-PET (fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography) imaging data collected from clinical trials of cancer chemoradiotherapy. Our numerical investigations successfully demonstrate the advantages of the proposed Boost-S over existing approaches for this particular application.
