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

Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) is a condition closely associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Detecting its risk factors and taking some relevant interventions still represent the top priority to lower its prevalence. Yet, in discussing risk factors, Logistic regression model is usually adopted but accompanied by some defects. In this study, a Tabu Search-based BNs was first constructed for HHcy and its risk factors, and the conditional probability between nodes was calculated using Maximum Likelihood Estimation. Besides, we tried to compare its performance with Hill Climbing-based BNs and Logistic regression model in risk factor detection and discuss its prospect in clinical practice. Our study found that Age, sex, α1-microgloblobumin to creatinine ratio, fasting plasma glucose, diet and systolic blood pressure represent direct risk factors for HHcy, and smoking, glycosylated hemoglobin and BMI constitute indirect risk factors for HHcy. Besides, the performance of Tabu Search-based BNs is better than Hill Climbing-based BNs. Accordingly, BNs with Tabu Search algorithm could be a supplement for Logistic regression, allowing for exploring the complex network relationship and the overall linkage between HHcy and its risk factors. Besides, Bayesian reasoning allows for risk prediction of HHcy, which is more reasonable in clinical practice and thus should be promoted.
