Benchmarking cesarean delivery rates using machine learning-derived optimal classification trees.
Article in Health services research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveTo establish a case-adjusted hospital-specific performance evaluation tool using machine learning methodology for cesarean delivery. DATA SOURCES: Secondary data were collected from patients between January 1, 2015 and February 28, 2018 using a hospital's "Electronic Data Warehouse" database from Illinois, USA. STUDY
designThe machine learning methodology of optimal classification trees (OCTs) was used to predict cesarean delivery rate by physician group, thereby establishing the case-adjusted benchmarking standards in comparison to the overall hospital cesarean delivery rate. Outcomes of specific patient populations of each participating practice were predicted, as if each were treated in the overall hospital environment. The resulting OCTs estimate physician group expected cesarean delivery outcomes, both aggregate and in specific clinical situations. DATA COLLECTION/EXTRACTION
methodsTwelve thousand eight hunderd and forty one singleton, vertex, term deliveries, cared for by practices with ≥50 births. PRINCIPAL
findingsThe overall rate of cesarean delivery was 18.6% (n = 2384), with a range of 13.3%-33.7% amongst 22 physician practices. An optimal decision tree was used to create a prediction model for the hospital overall, which defined 23 patient cohorts divided by 46 nodes. The model's performance for prediction of cesarean delivery is as follows: area under the curve 0.73, sensitivity 98.4%, specificity 16.1%, positive predictive value 83.7%, negative predictive value 70.6%. Comparisons with the overall hospital's specific-case adjusted benchmark groups revealed that several groups outperformed the overall hospital benchmark, and some practice groups underperformed in comparison to the overall hospital benchmark.
conclusionsOCT benchmarking can assess physician practice-specific case-adjusted performance, both overall and clinical situation-specific, and can serve as a valuable tool for hospital self-assessment and quality improvement.
