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: Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is a rare global condition with high recurrence rates. Existing prognostic scoring models demonstrate limited predictive efficacy for BCS recurrence. This study aims to develop a novel machine learning model based on multiple kernel learning to improve the prediction of 3-year recurrence in BCS patients. Methods: Data were collected from BCS patients admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University between January 2015 and July 2022. The dataset was divided into training, validation, and test sets in a 6:2:2 ratio. Models were constructed by evaluating all combinations of four kernel functions in the training set. Hyperparameters for each model were optimized using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm on the validation set. The test set was used to compare kernel function combinations, with the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy as evaluation metrics. The optimal model, identified through the best-performing kernel combination, was further compared with three classical machine learning models. Result: A kernel combination integrating all four basic kernels achieved the highest average AUC (0.831), specificity (0.772), and accuracy (0.780), along with marginally lower but more stable sensitivity (0.795) compared to other combinations. When benchmarked against classical machine learning models, our proposed MKSVRB (Multi-Kernel Support Vector Machine Model for Three-Year Recurrence Prediction of Budd-Chiari Syndrome) demonstrated superior performance. Additionally, it outperformed prior studies addressing similar objectives. Conclusion: This study identifies risk factors influencing BCS recurrence and validates the MKSVRB model as a significant advancement over existing prediction methods. The model exhibits strong potential for early detection, risk stratification, and recurrence prevention in BCS patients.
