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

Advanced regression and machine learning models can provide personalized risk predictions to support clinical decision-making. We aimed to understand whether modeling methods impact the tendency of calibration to deteriorate as patient populations shift over time, with the goal of informing model updating practices. We developed models for 30-day hospital mortality using seven common regression and machine learning methods. Models were developed on 2006 admissions to Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals and validated on admissions in 2007-2013. All models maintained discrimination. Calibration was stable for the neural network model and declined for all other models. The L-2 penalized logistic regression and random forest models experienced smaller magnitudes of calibration drift than the other regression models. Calibration drift was linked with a changing case mix rather than shifts in predictoroutcome associations or outcome rate. Model updating protocols will need to be tailored to variations in calibration drift across methods.
