Although the sputum smear test is a gold standard for diagnosing PTB, the method has numerous limitations, including low sensitivity, low specificity, and insufficient samples. Methods: The present study aimed to identify specific biomarkers of PTB and construct a model for diagnosing PTB by combining random forest (RF) and artificial neural network (ANN) algorithms. Two publicly available cohorts of TB, namely, the GSE83456 (training) and GSE42834 (validation) cohorts, were retrieved from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. A total of 45 and 61 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified between the PTB and control samples, respectively, by screening the GSE83456 cohort. An RF classifier was used for identifying specific biomarkers, following which an ANN-based classification model was constructed for identifying PTB samples. The accuracy of the ANN model was validated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The proportion of 22 types of immunocytes in the PTB samples was measured using the CIBERSORT algorithm, and the correlations between the immunocytes were determined. Results: Differential analysis revealed that 11 and 22 DEGs were upregulated and downregulated, respectively, and 11 biomarkers specific to PTB were identified by the RF classifier. The weights of these biomarkers were determined and an ANN-based classification model was subsequently constructed. The model exhibited outstanding performance, as revealed by the area under the curve (AUC), which was 1.000 for the training cohort. The AUC of the validation cohort was 0.946, which further confirmed the accuracy of the model. Conclusion: Altogether, the present study successfully identified specific genetic biomarkers of PTB and constructed a highly accurate model for the diagnosis of PTB based on blood samples. The model developed herein can serve as a reliable reference for the early detection of PTB and provide novel perspectives into the pathogenesis of PTB.", "claims": [{"id": "claim-method", "statement": "The present study aimed to identify specific biomarkers of PTB and construct a model for diagnosing PTB by combining random forest (RF) and artificial neural network (ANN) algorithms.", "kind": "methodological", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:36968608", "locator": "sections[0] \"Abstract\" paragraph 2", "quote": "The present study aimed to identify specific biomarkers of PTB and construct a model for diagnosing PTB by combining random forest (RF) and artificial neural network (ANN) algorithms."}], "state": "complete"}, {"id": "claim-data-access", "statement": "The original contributions presented in the study are included in the article/Supplementary Material, further inquiries can be directed to the corresponding author.", "kind": "methodological", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:36968608", "locator": "sections[20] \"Data availability statement\" paragraph 2", "quote": "The original contributions presented in the study are included in the article/Supplementary Material, further inquiries can be directed to the corresponding author."}], "state": "complete"}, {"id": "claim-target-result", "statement": "The area under the curve (AUC) of the training (GSE83456) and validation (GSE42834) cohorts was determined to be 1.000 and 0.946, respectively.", "kind": "qualitative", "target": null, "evidence": [{"asset": "source:pmid:36968608", "locator": "sections[1] \"Introduction\" paragraph 5", "quote": "The area under the curve (AUC) of the training (GSE83456) and validation (GSE42834) cohorts was determined to be 1.000 and 0.946, respectively."}], "state": "complete"}], "gaps": []}, "experiment": {"state": "partial", "objective": "The area under the curve (AUC) of the training (GSE83456) and validation (GSE42834) cohorts was determined to be 1.000 and 0.946, respectively.", "steps": [{"id": "read_published_estimate", "order": 1, "name": "Read the published estimate from the source", "kind": "other", "state": "complete", "blocked_on": null, "description": "The claim, method and evidence span published with the source article.", "duration_hours": null, "parameters": {}, "inputs": ["source:pmid:36968608"], "outputs": ["the published estimate and its evidence"], "instruments": [], "reagents": []}, {"id": "obtain_source_data", "order": 2, "name": "Obtain the source data from the named repository", "kind": "data-preparation", "state": "complete", "blocked_on": null, "description": "The GEO series accession resolves and its sample accessions are listed.
