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

objectiveThis study aimed to leverage machine learning algorithms to explore the relationship between anti-double-stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA) immunoglobulin G (IgG) glycosylation and the degree of organ involvement in patients with SLE. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: We enrolled 86 consecutive treatment-naïve patients with SLE positive for anti-dsDNA antibodies from the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology at Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai, between 2017 and 2019. We quantified and classified the degree of organ involvement in patients with SLE and analysed each glycoform and a combination of glycoforms of purified anti-dsDNA IgG. A random forest classifier and artificial neural network were applied to evaluate the correlation between the levels of glycoform pairs and the degree of organ involvement.

resultsPearson's correlation analysis revealed a strong connection between the involved and uninvolved organs in patients with SLE. Random forest analysis showed that the combination of IgG1Gal and IgG3/4Bis had the highest accuracy (0.7692) and area under the curve (0.8187). In terms of predicting the degree of involvement using an artificial neural network, IgG3/4Bis and IgG1Gal showed the lowest mean squared error (0.0244).

conclusionsOur study showed the effectiveness of combining glycoforms to classify and predict the degree of SLE organ involvement. Different glycoforms were correlated with the involvement degree to various extents, and the combination of anti-dsDNA IgG3/4Bis and IgG1Gal exhibited the best correlation with organ involvement.
