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

Purpose: This study aimed to predict the hernia risk in peritoneal dialysis patients using machine learning (ML) models and conduct an interpretability analysis. Methods: A total of 1,144 eligible PD patients (2010-2024) were divided into training ( Results: The Random Forest (RF) model performed optimally (training AUC = 97.99%, validation AUC = 93.66%), identifying 9 core risk factors (age, BMI, PDV, albumin, smoking history, history of abdominal surgery, high peritoneal transporter status, COPD, and CAPD modality). SHAP clarified non-linear effects of these factors. The developed R Shiny-based online tool (https://caoyugang.shinyapps.io/appforpub/) enables real-time risk calculation through intuitive input of clinical indicators, providing risk stratification and personalized clinical recommendations. Conclusion: The RF model achieves high-accuracy and interpretable hernia risk prediction in PD patients. The R Shiny-based online tool facilitates clinical risk stratification and early intervention, improving patient prognosis.
