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

Unplanned hospital readmissions represent a significant health care value problem with high costs and poor quality of care. A significant percentage of readmissions could be prevented if clinical inpatient teams were better able to predict which patients were at higher risk for readmission. Many of the current clinical decision support models that predict readmissions are not configured to integrate closely with the electronic health record or alert providers in real-time prior to discharge about a patient's risk for readmission. We report on the implementation and monitoring of the Epic electronic health record-"Unplanned readmission model version 1"-over 2 years from 1/1/2018-12/31/2019. For patients discharged during this time, the predictive capability to discern high risk discharges was reflected in an AUC/C-statistic at our three hospitals of 0.716-0.760 for all patients and 0.676-0.695 for general medicine patients. The model had a positive predictive value ranging from 0.217-0.248 for all patients. We also present our methods in monitoring the model over time for trend changes, as well as common readmissions reduction strategies triggered by the score.
