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

Machine learning, in particular deep learning, may be able to assist in the prediction of the length of stay and timing of discharge for individual patients. Artificial neural networks applied to medical text have previously shown promise in this area. In this study, a previously derived artificial neural network was applied to prospective and external validation datasets. In the prediction of discharge within the next 2 days, when the algorithm was applied to prospective and external datasets, the area under the receiver operator curve for this task were 0.78 and 0.74, respectively. The performance in the prediction of discharge within the next 7 days was more limited (area under the receiver operator curve 0.68 and 0.67). This study has shown that in prospective and external validation datasets the previously derived deep learning algorithms have demonstrated moderate performance in the prediction of which patients will be discharged within the next 2 days. Future studies may seek to further refine or evaluate the effect of the implementation of such algorithms.
