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

purposeIn cardiovascular patients, precise risk stratification is crucial for minimizing exercise-related risks and optimizing treatment efficacy during cardiac rehabilitation. Existing classification criteria vary among organizations, necessitating a comprehensive assessment of the underlying conditions and medical tests. We developed machine-learning models to assist in standardizing risk classification for cardiopulmonary exercise training. MATERIALS AND

methodsUsing retrospective data from 1163 patients across three institutions, we developed an AI model to reproduce clinician-assigned risk stratification for exercise-related cardiovascular events. Data pre-processing involved excluding variables with numerous missing values and conducting multiple imputation using chained equations, resulting in 46 variables for analysis. Logistic regression, support vector machines, extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), and random forests were employed, optimizing hyperparameters via a grid search. In feature selection, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), with a range of regularization strengths, was applied to the L1 term to determine the optimal penalty value.

resultsSeveral machine-learning models were evaluated for their ability to replicate clinician-assigned cardiovascular risk-type classifications. XGBoost achieved the best performance with 76.72% accuracy and an area under the curve (AUC) of 88.76%. After applying LASSO-based feature selection, performance improved, with the best result (α=0.001) showing 79.31% accuracy and an AUC of 89.40%. Feature importance analysis identified ventilatory efficiency, maximal systolic blood pressure, and maximal oxygen consumption as key features for risk stratification based on aerobic exercise load test data, along with weight.

conclusionA machine-learning model was established to categorize exercise-related risk types during cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, serving as a decision-support tool for the safe and effective training of cardiovascular patients.
