Clinical Predictors of Prolonged Hospital Stay in Patients with Myasthenia Gravis: A Study Using Machine Learning Algorithms.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers.
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
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder that causes muscle weakness. Although the management is well established, some patients are refractory and require prolonged hospitalization. Our study is aimed to identify the important factors that predict the duration of hospitalization in patients with MG by using machine learning methods. A total of 21 factors were chosen for machine learning analyses. We retrospectively reviewed the data of patients with MG who were admitted to hospital. Five machine learning methods, including stochastic gradient boosting (SGB), least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso), ridge regression (Ridge), eXtreme gradient boosting (XGboost), and gradient boosting with categorical features support (Catboost), were used to construct models for identify the important factors affecting the duration of hospital stay. A total of 232 data points of 204 hospitalized MG patients admitted were enrolled into the study. The MGFA classification, treatment of high-dose intravenous corticosteroid, age at admission, treatment with intravenous immunoglobulins, and thymoma were the top five significant variables affecting prolonged hospitalization. Our findings from machine learning will provide physicians with information to evaluate the potential risk of MG patients having prolonged hospital stay. The use of high-dose corticosteroids is associated with prolonged hospital stay and to be used cautiously in MG patients.
