Approaches for handling imbalanced data used in machine learning in the healthcare field: A case study on Chagas disease database prediction.
Article in PloS one, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Machine learning has increasingly gained prominence in the healthcare sector due to its ability to address various challenges. However, a significant issue remains unresolved in this field: the handling of imbalanced data. This process is crucial for ensuring the efficiency of algorithms that utilize classification techniques, which are commonly applied in risk management, monitoring, diagnosis, and prognosis of patient health. This study conducts a comparative analysis of techniques for handling imbalanced data and evaluates their effectiveness in combination with a set of classification algorithms, specifically focusing on stroke prediction. Additionally, a new approach based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Naive Bayes was proposed. This approach was applied to the real problem of Chagas disease. The application of these techniques aims to improve the quality of life for individuals, reduce healthcare costs, and allocate available resources more efficiently, making it a preventive action.
