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

The influx of hospital patients has become common in recent years. Hospital management departments need to redeploy healthcare resources to meet the massive medical needs of patients. In this process, the hospital length of stay (LOS) of different patients is a crucial reference to the management department. Therefore, building a model to predict LOS is of great significance. Five machine learning (ML) algorithms named Lasso regression (LR), ridge regression (RR), random forest regression (RFR), light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM), and extreme gradient boosting regression (XGBR) and six feature encoding methods named label encoding, count encoding, one-hot encoding, target encoding, leave-one-out encoding, and the proposed encoding method are used to construct the regression prediction model. The Scikit-Learn toolbox on the Python platform builds the prediction model. The input is the dataset named Hospital Inpatient Discharges (SPARCS De-Identified) 2017 with 2343569 instances provided by the New York State Department of Health verify the model after removing 2.2% of the missing data, and the model ultimately uses mean squared error (MSE) and coefficient of determination (
