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

Diagnosing community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) relies on costly imaging, posing challenges in resource-limited settings. Traditional tools focus on diagnostic tests for clinicians rather than patient use. Additionally, classification of subtypes in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) lacks criteria. We developed a multimodal fusion model using machine learning algorithms and clinical variables from basic information, medical records, and lab tests to assess CAP risk in fever patients. The model integrates top-performing models via ensemble learning to predict pneumonia probability. We trained on 2,193 visits at Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital's fever clinic from Dec 2021 to Dec 2022, and validated on 300 visits from Jan to July 2024. Use unsupervised learning to classify subtypes. The training cohort included 1,781 CAP and similar patients, with 210 in the external validation cohort. CAPs were diagnosed via chest CT. The α model, based on pre-visit medical records, performed well (AUC
