Association of the body roundness index and sun sensitivity: insights from the NHANES data with machine learning analysis.

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
backgroundSun sensitivity, an abnormal skin reaction to ultraviolet radiation, increases the risk of melanoma and impairs the quality of life. In recent times, the body roundness index (BRI) has been suggested to be associated with various health conditions. Nevertheless, the association between the BRI and sun sensitivity remains not well understood. The purpose of this research was to investigate the association between the BRI and sun sensitivity.
methodsThis research utilized information acquired from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted in the United States (2001-2006, 2009-2018; n = 9,999, including 1,085 cases of sun sensitivity). The association between the BRI and sun sensitivity was analyzed, and the Boruta algorithm was employed for feature selection. Subsequently, seven machine learning (ML) models were used to predict the risk of sun sensitivity, and the independent effect of the BRI was analyzed using Shapley additive explanations (SHAP).
resultsAfter full adjustment, each one-unit increase in the BRI significantly increased the risk of sun sensitivity (OR = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.04-1.11, P < 0.001). Quartile analysis showed that participants in the highest BRI quartile (≥ 6.32) had a 47% higher risk of sun sensitivity (OR = 1.47, 95% CI: 1.17-1.83, P < 0.001) than those in the lowest quartile. RCS confirmed a linear dose-response relationship (P
conclusionsThis is the first study to systematically evaluate the relationship between the BRI and risk of sun sensitivity using ML methods. The study identified a significant association between the BRI and risk of sun sensitivity. These findings provide new evidence regarding the etiology of sun sensitivity and offer a scientific basis for personalized disease management and public health interventions.
