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

Covariate identification in population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (popPK/PD) modeling is a key component in model development that is often prone to bias, time-consuming, and even intractable when too many covariates or complicated models are being considered. Early work leveraging machine learning (ML) for covariate screening has shown promising results over traditional methods. In this work, we expand this effort by integrating explainable machine learning facilitated by Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) analysis and covariate uncertainty quantification as well as a formal framework for establishing statistical significance of covariate relationships. Finally, we have packaged the proposed methodology into a flexible set of functions (shap-cov) to support popPK/PD modeling covariate identification.
