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

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) remains a major global public health challenge, and its early screening is essential for controlling transmission and improving treatment outcomes. We analyzed serum samples from 422 participants via Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) to establish a screening model for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive status. Following multi-bin preprocessing and single-sample spectral aggregation, we assessed three machine learning algorithms-random forest, deep neural network, and light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM). Among them, the LightGBM model achieved the best performance, with an optimized F1 score of 0.87 and an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.94. A 100-iteration ensemble feature stabilization strategy identified twelve distinct
