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 availability of large-scale electronic health record datasets has led to the development of artificial intelligence (AI) methods for clinical risk prediction that help improve patient care. However, existing studies have shown that AI models suffer from severe performance decay after several years of deployment, which might be caused by various temporal dataset shifts. When the shift occurs, we have access to large-scale pre-shift data and small-scale post-shift data that are not enough to train new models in the post-shift environment. In this study, we propose a new method to address the issue. We reweight patients from the pre-shift environment to mitigate the distribution shift between pre- and post-shift environments. Moreover, we adopt a Kullback-Leibler divergence loss to force the models to learn similar patient representations in pre- and post-shift environments. Our experimental results show that our model efficiently mitigates temporal shifts, improving prediction performance.
