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

purposeTo explore the relationship between thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) and liver injury and establish a model for identifying liver injury by using machine learning so as to provide an effective diagnostic tool for liver injury in patients with TAO.

methodA single-center retrospective study was conducted to collect the clinical data of 318 patients with TAO admitted to a hospital from 2016 to 2022. The patients were divided into a TAO liver injury group (104 cases) and TAO normal liver function group (214 cases) according to whether the patients had normal liver function. The multivariate binomial logistic regression model was used to analyse the risk factors for liver injury in patients with TAO. Feature selection was performed using the random forest algorithm. The research data were divided into a training set and a test set at a ratio of 6:4. Taking whether accompanied by liver injury (0 = no, 1 = yes) as the outcome variable, models were established based on logistic regression, random forest, support vector machine, and decision tree. The performance of the models was evaluated using metrics, including sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, Youden index, and accuracy.

resultThe random forest method was used for feature screening, and variables ranked among the top 10 according to either mean decrease accuracy or mean decrease Gini were selected for model construction. In five-fold cross-validation, the RF model showed the highest accuracy of 0.937 and AUC of 0.977. In the test set, the RF model also showed good discrimination, with an AUC of 0.973, and the SVM model showed the highest AUC of 0.986, while SVM and LR achieved the highest accuracy of 0.914.

conclusionThis study shows that a classification model based on machine learning can effectively identify the risk of liver damage in patients with TAO.
