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

objectiveThis study aimed to develop and validate stratified machine learning models for early prediction of anti-tuberculosis drug-induced liver injury (ATB-DILI) risk, targeting both a general tuberculosis (TB) treatment population and a high-risk subgroup with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) co-infection, based on real-world clinical data.

methodsA single-center retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from 11,361 TB patients (3,787 ATB-DILI cases and 7,574 controls) and a CHB subgroup of 1,017 patients (339 cases and 678 controls) after propensity score matching. Ten machine learning algorithms, including Logistic Regression, Random Forest (RF), and XGBoost, were applied. Models were trained and validated using a 1:1 split and 10-fold cross-validation. Performance was evaluated using AUC, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, and F1-score. Model interpretability was enhanced using SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP).

resultsIn the overall population, ensemble methods such as RF and XGBoost achieved AUCs of 0.960 and 0.954, respectively, on the validation set. In the CHB subgroup, RF and XGBoost performed even better, with AUCs of 0.994. Key predictors in the general population included ALT, eosinophil count, AST, and procalcitonin, while in the CHB subgroup, total bile acid, procalcitonin, ALP, and prealbumin were most influential. SHAP analysis revealed non-linear relationships between features and ATB-DILI risk, aligning with clinical knowledge.

conclusionStratified machine learning models, particularly ensemble methods, demonstrated excellent performance in predicting ATB-DILI risk and highlighted distinct injury mechanisms between general and CHB co-infected TB patients. This approach offers a clinically interpretable and accurate tool for early warning of ATB-DILI, supporting personalized risk assessment and management.
