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

Purpose: Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP), a critical complication of ischemic stroke, significantly worsens outcomes. Our aim was to identify SAP risk factors and develop a machine learning (ML) model for early risk stratification. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 574 ischemic stroke patients, divided into training (75%) and testing (25%) sets. Nine ML models were trained using 10-fold cross-validation, with performance evaluated by accuracy, AUC-ROC, and F1-score. Key predictors were interpreted via SHAP analysis. An interactive web tool was developed using the optimal model. Results: SAP incidence was 32.4%. LightGBM demonstrated superior predictive performance (ranking score=54) without overfitting, identifying Monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), NIHSS score, age, aggregate index of systemic inflammation (AISI), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) as the top predictors. Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate that machine learning models exhibit strong predictive performance for SAP, with the LightGBM algorithm outperforming other approaches. The web-based prediction tool developed from this model provides clinicians with actionable insights to support real-time clinical decision-making.
