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

In this study, we used serial heart rate variability (HRV) measures over 2 hours to improve the prediction of 30-day in-hospital mortality among septic patients in the emergency department (ED). We presented a generalizable methodology for processing and analysing HRV time series (HRVTS) data which may be noisy and incomplete. Feature sets were created from the HRVTS data of 162 patients with suspected sepsis using aggregation-based, deltabased and regression-based series-to-point transformations, and modelled over 100 random stratified splits. An optimized feature set comprising 12 selected HRVTS features performed better than baseline feature sets which only included patient demographics, vital signs and single time-point HRV measures taken at triage. This improved risk stratification approach could be used in the ED to identify high-risk septic patients for appropriate management and disposition.
