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

Machine learning is considered a potential aid to support human decision making in disease prediction. In this study, we determined the utility of various machine learning algorithms in classifying peripheral vestibular (PV) and non-PV diseases based on the results of equilibrium function tests. A total of 1009 patients who had undergone our standardized neuro-otological examinations were recruited. We applied five supervised machine learning algorithms (random forest, adaboost, gradient boosting, support vector machine, and logistic regression). After preprocessing the data, optimizing the hyperparameters using GridSearchCV, and performing a final evaluation on the test set using scikit-learn, we evaluated the predictive capability using various performance metrics, namely, accuracy, F1-score, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, precision, recall, and Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC). All five machine learning algorithms yielded satisfactory results; the accuracy of the algorithms ranged from 76 to 79%, with the support vector machine classifier having the highest accuracy. In cases where the predictions of the five models were consistent, the accuracy of the PV diagnostic results was improved to 83%, whereas it increased to 85% for the non-PV diagnostic results. Future research should increase the number of patients and optimize the classification methods to obtain the highest diagnostic accuracy.
