Prediction of 12-month recurrence of pancreatic cancer using machine learning and prognostic factors.
Article in BMC medical informatics and decision making, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
BACKGROUND AND
aimPancreatic cancer is lethal and prevalent among other cancer types. The recurrence of this tumor is high, especially in patients who did not receive adjuvant therapies. Early prediction of PC recurrence has a significant role in enhancing patients' prognosis and survival. So far, machine learning techniques have given us insight into favorable performance efficiency in various medical domains. So, this study aims to establish a prediction model based on machine learning to achieve better prediction on this topic. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this retrospective research, we used data from 585 PC patient cases from January 2019 to November 2023 from three clinical centers in Tehran City. Ten chosen ensemble and non-ensemble algorithms were used to establish prediction models on this topic.
resultsRandom forest and support vector machine with an AU-ROC of approximately 0.9 obtained more performance efficiency regarding PC recurrence. Lymph node metastasis, tumor size, tumor grade, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy were the best factors influencing PC recurrence.
conclusionRandom forest and support vector machine algorithms demonstrated high-performance ability and clinical usability to improve doctors' decisions in achieving different therapeutic and diagnostic measures.
