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

backgroundSuccessful weaning from mechanical ventilation is important for patients in intensive care units (ICUs). The aim was to construct neural networks to predict successful extubation in ventilated patients in ICUs.

methodsData from 1/12/2009 through 31/12/2011 of 3602 patients with planned extubation in Chi-Mei Medical Center's ICUs was used to train and test an artificial neural network (ANN). The input was 37 clinical risk factors, and the output was a failed extubation prediction.

resultsOne hundred eighty-five patients (5.1%) had a failed extubation. Multivariate analyses revealed that failure was positively associated with therapeutic intervention scoring system (TISS) scores (odds ratio [OR]: 1.814; 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 1.283⁻2.563), chronic hemodialysis (OR: 12.264; 95% CI: 8.556⁻17.580), rapid shallow breathing (RSI) (OR: 2.003; 95% CI: 1.378⁻2.910), and pre-extubation heart rate (OR: 1.705; 95% CI: 1.173⁻2.480), but negatively associated with pre-extubation PaO₂/FiO₂ (OR: 0.529; 95%: 0.370⁻0.750) and maximum expiratory pressure (MEP) (OR: 0.610; 95% CI: 0.413⁻0.899). A multilayer perceptron ANN model with 19 neurons in a hidden layer was developed. The overall performance of this model was F₁: 0.867, precision: 0.939, and recall: 0.822. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was 0.85, which is better than any one of the following predictors: TISS: 0.58 (95% CI: 0.54⁻0.62;

conclusionsThe ANN performed well when predicting failed extubation, and it will help predict successful planned extubation.
