Machine learning-based prediction of dissatisfaction after occupational injury: a retrospective cohort study using the nationwide Korean workers' compensation insurance database.
Article in BMJ open, 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
objectivesTo develop a machine learning (ML)-based predictive model to determine the key predictors of dissatisfaction after occupational injury (OI).
designA retrospective cohort study.
settingNationwide 5-year panel data (2018-2022) from the Panel Study of Workers' Compensation Insurance in South Korea.
participantsA total of 2298 workers who completed compensation-related medical care in 2017.
methodsPredictive modelling was conducted with extreme gradient (XG) Boost, light gradient boosting machine (GBM), CatBoost and random forest. SHapley Additive Explanations (SHAPs) analysis was conducted to interpret the feature importance. Further, logistic regression was conducted for comparison. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURES: This study evaluated postinjury satisfaction among workers using survey items associated with satisfaction levels. We adopted a 5-year follow-up period.
resultsOf the 2298 participants, 570 were dissatisfied. The logistic regression model indicated that dissatisfaction was significantly associated with unemployment (adjusted OR (aOR) 1.701; 95% CI: 1.296 to 2.233), lack of private health insurance (aOR 1.347; 95% CI 1.042 to 1.741) and lower perceived socioeconomic status (aOR 2.097; 95% CI 1.109 to 3.965). Among the ML models, light GBM exhibited the highest area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (0.770 (95% CI 0.718 to 0.819)), followed by CatBoost (0.768 (95% CI 0.718 to 0.815)), random forest (0.766 (95% CI 0.715 to 0.814)) and XGBoost (0.765 (95% CI 0.717 to 0.811)). The SHAP analysis demonstrated the total number of household members, extent of pain interference with daily life, perceived health status before injury and financial factors as the strongest predictors.
conclusionThis study developed and demonstrated robust predictive performance of an ML-based model for determining dissatisfaction after OI. The key features included employment status, financial stability, chronic pain and cognitive function, highlighting the multifaceted nature of worker satisfaction.
