Pre-operative prediction of post-operative urinary retention in lumbar surgery: a prospective validation of machine learning model.
Article in European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposePredicting urinary retention is difficult. The aim of this study is to prospectively validate a previously developed model using machine learning techniques.
methodsPatients were recruited from pre-operative clinic. Prediction of urinary retention was completed pre-operatively by 4 individuals and compared to ground truth POUR outcomes. Inter-rater reliability was calculated with intercorrelation coefficient (2,1).
results171 patients were included with age 63 ± 14 years, 58.5% (100/171) male, BMI 30.4 ± 5.9 kg/m
conclusionsThis prospective study confirms performance of the prediction model for POUR developed with retrospective data, showing great correlation. This supports the use of machine learning techniques in the prediction of postoperative complications such as urinary retention.
