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

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesCritically ill patients require individualized nutrition support, with assessment tools like Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 and Nutrition Risk in the Critically Ill scores. Challenges in continu-ous nutrition care prompt the need for innovative solutions. This study develops an artificial intelligence assisted nutrition risk evaluation model using explainable machine learning to support intensive care unit dietitians. METHODS AND STUDY

designEthical approval was obtained for a retrospective analysis of 2,122 pa-tients. Nutrition risk assessment involved six dietitians, with 1,994 patients assessed comprehensively. Artificial intelligence models and shapley additive explanations analysis were used to predict and understand nutrition risk.

resultsHigh nutrition risk (35.2%) correlated with elder age, lower body weight, BMI, albumin, and higher disease severity. The AUROC scores achieved by XGBoost (0.921), CatBoost (0.926), and LightGBM (0.923) were superior to those of Logistic Regression. Key features influencing nutrition risk included Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score, albumin, age, BMI, and haemoglobin.

conclusionsThe study introduces an artificial intelligence assisted nutrition risk evaluation model, offering a promising avenue for continuous and timely nutrition support in critically ill patients. External validation and exploration of feature relationships are needed.
