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

Evidence-based medicine utilizes research evidence from clinical trials to support treatment decisions. To leverage the advantage of electronic health records and big data analysis methods, we developed a data-driven analytic pipeline that uses 1) agglomerative hierarchical clustering to define different granularity of treatment variation, 2) feature selection and multinomial multivariate logistic regression analysis to identify variables (factors) associated with treatment variation, and 3) prognosis analysis to compare patient outcome across top treatment groups. We tested our approach on the diffuse large B-cell lymphoma patient population from the MIMIC-IV dataset and found that our approach helps determine the optimal granularity of treatment variation and identify factors associated with treatment variation but not realized in randomized controlled trials due to unbalanced patient cohorts. We also found some patient cohorts' characteristics that could serve to inspire hypothesis generation, such as the influence of ethnicity on the treatment plans and subsequent prognoses.
