Stacked ensemble model for NBA game outcome prediction analysis.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This research presents a stacked ensemble approach that employs artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to predict the outcomes of NBA games. Several machine learning algorithms were utilized, including Naïve Bayes, AdaBoost, Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), XGBoost, Decision Tree, and Logistic Regression. The best-performing models were selected to serve as the base learners in the ensemble architecture. To improve the model's interpretability and transparency, SHAP was used to clarify its decision-making process. The model was trained and evaluated using publicly available NBA datasets from 2021-2022,2022-2023, and 2023-2024. Experimental results indicate that the proposed ensemble approach is practical in predicting game outcomes. Furthermore, the SHAP analysis provides valuable insights into the underlying predictive mechanisms, offering actionable information for coaches and analysts.
