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

STUDY

designNarrative review.

objectiveDecision making in surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD) is complex due to the multifactorial etiology, numerous surgical options, and influence of multiple medical and psychosocial factors on patient outcomes. Predictive analytics provide computational tools to analyze large data sets and generate hypotheses regarding new data. In this review, we examine the use of predictive analytics to predict patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in ASD surgery.

methodsA search of PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases was performed to identify all potentially relevant studies up to February 1, 2020. Studies were included based on the use of predictive analytics to predict PROs in ASD.

resultsOf 57 studies identified and reviewed, 7 studies were included. Multiple algorithms including supervised and unsupervised methods were used. Significant heterogeneity was observed with choice of PROs modeled including ODI, SRS22, and SF36, assessment of model accuracy, and with the model accuracy and area under the receiver operating curve values (ranging from 30% to 86% and 0.57 to 0.96, respectively). Models were built with data sets of patients ranging from 89 to 570 patients with a range of 22 to 267 variables.

conclusionsPredictive analytics makes accurate predictions regarding PROs regarding pain, disability, and work and social function; PROs regarding satisfaction, self-image, and psychologic aspects of ASD were predicted with the lowest accuracy. Our review demonstrates a relative paucity of studies on ASD with limited databases. Future studies should include larger and more diverse databases and provide external validation of preexisting models.
