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

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder marked by motor and non-motor symptoms that have a severe impact on the quality of life of the affected individuals. This study explores the effect of filter feature selection, followed by ensemble learning methods and genetic selection, on the detection of PD patients from attributes extracted from voice clips from both PD patients and healthy patients. Two distinct datasets were employed in this study. Filter feature selection was carried out by eliminating quasi-constant features. Several classification models were then tested on the filtered data. Decision tree, random forest, and XGBoost classifiers produced remarkable results, especially on Dataset 1, where 100% accuracy was achieved by decision tree and random forest. Ensemble learning methods (voting, stacking, and bagging) were then applied to the best-performing models to see whether the results could be enhanced further. Additionally, genetic selection was applied to the filtered data and evaluated using several classification models for their accuracy and precision. It was found that in most cases, the predictions for PD patients showed more precision than those for healthy individuals. The overall performance was also better on Dataset 1 than on Dataset 2, which had a greater number of features.
