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

Performance of random forest classification models is often assessed and interpreted using out-of-bag (OOB) samples. Observations which are OOB when a tree is trained may serve as a test set for that tree and predictions from the OOB observations used to calculate OOB error and variable importance measures (VIM). OOB errors are popular because they are fast to compute and, for large samples, are a good estimate of the true prediction error. In this study, we investigate how target-based
