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

Background: The mortality rate from coronary atherosclerotic heart disease is rising year by year, affecting an increasingly younger population, and is projected to continue rising in the future. Although medical technology is advancing, coronary angiography cannot be widely adopted for screening due to factors such as economic constraints, disparities in regional healthcare standards, and patient compliance. This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning-based predictive model for assessing the severity of coronary artery lesions and to explore related risk factors. Methods: This retrospective study included 400 patients who underwent their first complete coronary angiography at the First Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University between 2023 and 2025. The patient dataset from July 2023 to July 2025 ( Results: Ten predictors were retained. The XGBoost model exhibited the best discrimination, with AUCs of 0.889 (95% CI: 0.819-0.945) in the internal test set and 0.803 (95% CI: 0.718-0.888) in temporal validation. The model also showed good calibration and low Brier scores, with stable performance in ten-fold cross-validation. DeLong's test confirmed its superiority over competing models. DCA and SHAP analysis further supported its clinical utility and interpretability. Conclusion: This study developed a machine learning model for predicting the severity of coronary lesions, demonstrating satisfactory performance in a single-center setting.
