Explainable machine-learning model for coronary artery disease diagnosis in non-AMI patients: integrating inflammatory and traditional risk factors.
Article in Open heart, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo develop and interpret an explainable machine learning (ML) model integrating inflammatory biomarkers and traditional risk factors for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD).
methodsWe retrospectively analysed 4656 patients undergoing coronary angiography for suspected CAD. Demographic, clinical, biochemical and 12 inflammatory cytokine variables were collected. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression identified 21 candidate features. 10 ML algorithms were trained using cross-validation. Model performance was evaluated using the area under the curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and F1 score. Model explainability was assessed using SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP).
resultsAmong the evaluated models, the generalised linear model showed balanced performance and was selected as the final model (AUC=0.815). SHAP analysis identified hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, sex, triglycerides and interleukin-6 as the most influential predictors of CAD.
conclusionsThese findings underscore the potential of interpretable ML approaches that combine inflammatory and traditional markers to enhance early CAD diagnosis and inform clinical decision-making.
