The contribution of metal factors and baseline variables in predictive model. (A) The forest map based on PFI analysis displays the corresponding contribution weights of heavy metals and baseline variables and their corresponding standard deviations; (B) The SHAP summary plot of all variables and DR risk. The width of the range of the horizontal bars can be interpreted as the effect on the model predictions, with the wider the range, the greater the effect. The direction on the x-axis represented the likelihood of developing DR (right) or not developing (left); (C) The SHAP features importance plot of heavy metals and DR risk. The magnitude of the effect of each feature on the model output was measured by the average of the absolute values of the SHAP values for all samples, ranked from top to bottom by their magnitude of effect; D) The SHAP summary plot of heavy metals and DR risk.
