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

Machine learning (ML) algorithms hold the potential to outperform the selection of patients for immunotherapy (ICIs) compared to previous biomarker studies. We analyzed the predictive performance of ML models and compared them to traditional clinical biomarkers (TCBs) in the field of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. The study has been registered in PROSPERO (number: CRD42023465917). A systematic search of PubMed was conducted to identify studies applying different ML algorithms to GI cancer patients treated with ICIs using tumor RNA gene expression profiles. The outcomes included were response to immunotherapy (ITR) or survival. Additionally, we compared the ML methodology details and predictive power inherent in the published gene sets using 5-fold cross-validation and logistic regression (LR), on an available well-defined ICI-treated metastatic gastric cancer (GC) cohort (
