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.

resultsAfter adapting the Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 score into a version applicable to retrospective electronic health record data, it was validated in a mixed-ICU cohort. A manually ascertained Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 score was directly compared with the electronically derived electronic version of the Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 score in 100 randomly selected patients with good agreement between score components with nine out of 11 components having an intraclass correlation coefficient or Cohen κ greater than or equal to 0.6. In assessing the electronic version of the Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 score in the entire cohort of 12,582 patient encounters, it had good discrimination with area under the receiver operating curve of 0.89, appropriate calibration with no significant difference between observed and expected deaths, and excellent predictive ability with a Brier score of 0.0135.

conclusionsThe Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 score can be adapted to utilize retrospective electronic health record data with acceptable discrimination, calibration and accuracy a large mixed-ICU cohort.
