Why Patient Portal Messages Indicate Risk of Readmission for Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease.
Article in AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Online portals enable patients to exchanging messages with healthcare providers. After discharge, patients message providers to ask questions and report problems. Care providers read and respond accordingly, which requires a non trivial amount of human effort and is unlikely to scale up as portals become more popular. Automatically detecting when a message indicates a worsening in a patient's condition can assist providers to identify patients at risk of readmission. We investigated the association between messages that patients, diagnosed with ischemic heart disease, sent after discharge and the risk of readmission. We studied 4,052 messages sent after discharge for 1,552 patients. We represented messages using inferred latent topics, linguistic features (e.g. emotions, activities), and clusters of medical terms. Our analysis indicates that mentioning medication dosage and additional procedures are associated with readmission. Moreover, patients who were readmitted rarely mentioned leisurely activities or described their insights about their health information.
