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
Purpose: Hip fractures are often associated with deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This study aimed to develop machine learning models to predict preoperative DVT risk using basic clinical data from elderly patients with hip fractures. Methods: Clinical data were retrospectively collected from 538 elderly hip fracture patients hospitalized at Beijing Shijitan Hospital. Eighteen clinical parameters were assessed. Patients from October 2021 to September 2024 (n=405) formed the development cohort, randomly divided into training and test sets (7:3). Patients from October 2024 to September 2025 (n=133) constituted the temporal validation set. Following Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression for feature selection, three models-logistic regression, light-gradient boosting machine, and support vector machine (SVM)-were developed. Performance was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, Brier score, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA). SHapley additive explanations (SHAP) were used for interpretability. Results: LASSO selected seven features: fracture type, time from injury to admission, white blood cell count, red blood cell count, C-reactive protein, D-dimer, and prothrombin time. The SVM model demonstrated the best overall performance. In the test set, it achieved an AUC of 0.8525 (95% CI: 0.7624-0.9426), sensitivity of 0.7200, and Brier score of 0.1231. Performance remained stable in the temporal validation set with an AUC of 0.8360 (95% CI: 0.7470-0.9260), sensitivity of 0.6562, and Brier score of 0.1328. Calibration curves and DCA indicated reliable probability predictions and clinical net benefit. SHAP identified prothrombin time as the most important predictor. A web-based calculator was developed based on the SVM model. Conclusion: The developed SVM model shows potential as a dynamic, interpretable risk assessment tool for preoperative DVT in elderly hip fracture patients. It may provide a helpful quantitative reference to assist clinicians with perioperative DVT monitoring and early warning.
