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
<p>Objective: Sepsis-associated liver injury (SALI) occurs in approximately 40% of sepsis cases and is linked to high mortality, a challenge that may stem from the absence of effective prognostic models. We developed a machine learning (ML)-based prognostic model for SALI using conventional biomarkers to guide precise clinical interventions and reduce mortality.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 307 SALI patients (2010-2024), stratified into favorable (n = 139) and poor (n = 168) prognosis groups by post-treatment progression. The cohort was randomly split into a training set (80%) and a validation set (20%). The routine biomarkers included hematological indices, liver/renal function parameters, and coagulation profiles. Feature selection used LASSO regression. Nine ML algorithms constructed prognostic models: eXtreme Gradient Boosting, Logistic Regression, Light Gradient Boosting Machine, Random Forest, Adaptive Boosting, Gradient Boosting Decision Tree, Gaussian Naive Bayes, and Multilayer Perceptron. Model interpretability was evaluated via the SHapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP) algorithm. An independent cohort of 37 SALI patients was used for external validation.
resultsKey parameters influencing SALI prognosis were red blood cell distribution width-coefficient of variation, anion gap, and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin. Among the nine models, the Random Forest prognostic model performed best, with an area under the curve of 0.816 in the validation set and 0.781 in the external validation.
conclusionsThe Random Forest model developed in this study can provide some guidance for clinical decision-making in SALI patients, but further validation is still required and should only be implemented in clinical practice after further research. </p>.
