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: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) shows heterogeneous responses to integrative medicine treatment (IMT). A critical unmet need in DKD management is the inability to predict IMT response, which is essential for advancing personalized treatment strategies. Aim: To develop and validate an explainable model for predicting likelihood of favorable outcome under IMT exposure in adult DKD patients. Methods: A retrospective cohort comprising 7,400 patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) from 2010 to 2018 was analyzed. Among them, 3,900 consecutive cases diagnosed between 2010 and 2014 were randomly divided in a 7:3 ratio into a training set ( Results: XGBoost performed best (AUC = 0.783 in training, 0.715 in test and 0.762 in validation set), with 10 key variables, namely creatinine (cr), uric acid (ua), age, red blood cell count (rbc), urea, glucose (glu), platelet count (plt), calcium (ca), white blood cell count (wbc), and sodium (Na). The web app enabled real-time prediction (https://predictionfordkd.shinyapps.io/Prediction/). Conclusion: The model effectively predicts likelihood of favorable outcome under IMT exposure in DKD, aiding personalized treatment.
