An Electronic Search Algorithm for Early Disseminated Intravascular Coagulopathy Diagnosis in the Intensive Care Unit: A Derivation and Validation Study.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimWe aim to create and validate an electronic search algorithm for accurate detection of disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) from medical records.
methodsPatients with DIC in Mayo Clinic's intensive care units (ICUs) from Jan 1, 2007, to May 4, 2018, were included in the study. An algorithm was developed based on clinical notes and ICD diagnosis codes. A cohort of 50 patients was included with DIC diagnosis, its variations, and no diagnosis of DIC. Then, the next set of 50 patients was used to refine the algorithm. Results were compared with a manual reviewer and the disagreements were resolved by the third reviewer. The same process was repeated with 'revised clinical note search' for the first and second derivation cohort with additional exclusion terms. The obtained sensitivity and specificity were reported. The generated algorithm was applied to another set of 50 patients for validation.
resultsIn the first derivation cohort- DIC search by clinical notes and diagnosis codes had 92% sensitivity and 100% specificity. Sensitivity dropped to 71% in the second cohort although specificity remains the same. Therefore, the algorithm was refined to clinical notes search only. The revised search was reapplied to first and second derivation cohorts and results obtained for the first derivation were the same but 91.3% sensitive and 100% specific for the second derivation. The search was locked and applied in the validation cohort with 95.8% sensitivity and 100% specificity, respectively.
conclusionThe revised clinical note based electronic search algorithm was found to be highly sensitive and specific for DIC during the corresponding ICU duration.
