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

backgroundEndoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is a minimally invasive treatment for early colorectal lesions. However, post-EMR clinically significant delayed bleeding (CSPEB) is a common complication affecting patient outcomes. Accurate risk prediction is essential for optimizing management and reducing complications.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective study of 3888 patients who underwent colorectal EMR at Sun Yat-sen University's Sixth Affiliated Hospital from January 2018 to September 2024. External validation was performed using data from 1000 patients at Shenzhen Hospital of Southern Medical University (2022-2024). CSPEB was defined as postoperative lower gastrointestinal bleeding requiring endoscopic intervention within 30 days. Risk factors were identified using logistic regression. A random forest model with weighted sampling was developed and evaluated using ROC curves, calibration plots, and decision curve analysis (DCA). The model was implemented in a web-based application.

resultsCSPEB occurred in 1.4% of patients. Six independent risk factors were identified: sigmoid location, lesion size, number of lesions, APTT, fibrinogen, and hemoclip count. The model achieved an AUC of 0.87 ± 0.04 (sensitivity 71%, specificity 86%). External validation showed an AUC of 0.80 (sensitivity 61.5%, specificity 89.0%). SHAP methods enhanced model interpretability. Calibration and DCA confirmed strong predictive performance and clinical utility.

conclusionWe developed and validated the first machine learning model for predicting post-EMR bleeding in the Chinese population. The model provides accurate, interpretable risk predictions and has been integrated into a user-friendly web tool to support clinical decision-making and improve patient outcomes.
