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

A primary focus for reducing waste in healthcare expenditure is identifying and discouraging unnecessary repeat lab tests. A machine learning model which could reliably predict low information lab tests could provide personalized, real-time predictions to discourage over-testing. To this end, we apply six standard machine learning algorithms to six years (2008-2014) of inpatient data from a tertiary academic center, to predict when the next measurement of a lab test is likely to be the "same" as the previous one. Out of 13 common inpatient lab tests selected for this analysis, several are predictably stable in many cases. This points to potential areas where machine learning approaches may identify and prevent unneeded testing before it occurs, and a methodological framework for how these tasks can be accomplished.
