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
Objective: To develop a machine learning (ML)-based admission screening model for hospital-acquired (HA) influenza using routinely available data to support early clinical intervention. Methods: The study focused on hospitalized patients from January 2021 to May 2024. The case group consisted of patients with HA influenza, while the control group comprised non-HA influenza patients admitted to the same ward in the HA influenza unit within 2 weeks. The 953 subjects were divided into the training set and the validation set in a 7:3 ratio. Feature screening was performed using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and the Boruta algorithm. Subsequently eight ML algorithms were applied to analyze and identify the optimal model using a 5-fold cross-validation methodology. And the area under the curve (AUC), area under the precision-recall curve (AP), F1 score, calibration curve and decision curve analysis (DCA) were applied to comprehensively assess the predictive effectiveness of the selected models. Feature factors were selected and feature importance's were assessed using SHapley's additive interpretation (SHAP). Furthermore, an interactive web-based platform was additionally developed to visualize and demonstrate the predictive model. Results: Age, pneumonia on admission, Chronic renal failure, Malignant tumor, hypoproteinemia, glucocorticoid use, admission to ICU, lymphopenia, BMI were identified as key variables. For the eight ML algorithms, ROC values ranging from 0.548 to 0.812 were observed in the validation set. A comprehensive analysis showed that the XGBoost model predicted the highest accuracy (AUC: 0.812) with an F1 score of 0.590 and the highest A Conclusion: Based on the routine data, the XGBoost model demonstrated excellent calibration among all ML algorithms and accurately predicted the risk of HA influenza, thereby serving as an effective tool for early screening of HA influenza.
