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

Deep-learning-based clinical decision support using structured electronic health records (EHR) has been an active research area for predicting risks of mortality and diseases. Meanwhile, large amounts of narrative clinical notes provide complementary information, but are often not integrated into predictive models. In this paper, we provide a novel multimodal transformer to fuse clinical notes and structured EHR data for better prediction of in-hospital mortality. To improve interpretability, we propose an integrated gradients (IG) method to select important words in clinical notes and discover the critical structured EHR features with Shapley values. These important words and clinical features are visualized to assist with interpretation of the prediction outcomes. We also investigate the significance of domain adaptive pretraining and task adaptive fine-tuning on the Clinical BERT, which is used to learn the representations of clinical notes. Experiments demonstrated that our model outperforms other methods (AUCPR: 0.538, AUCROC: 0.877, F1:0.490).
