Effect of machine learning models on clinician prediction of postoperative complications: the Perioperative ORACLE randomised clinical trial.
Trial report in British journal of anaesthesia, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05042804 (Perioperative Outcome Risk Assessment With Computer Learning Enhancement), which is not on this map. Cited by 14 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.

Abstract
backgroundAnaesthesiologists might be able to mitigate risk if they know which patients are at greatest risk for postoperative complications. This trial examined the impact of machine learning models on clinician risk assessment.
methodsThis single-centre, prospective, randomised clinical trial enrolled surgical patients aged ≥18 yr. Anaesthesiologists and nurse anaesthetists providing remote telemedicine support reviewed electronic health records with (assisted group) or without (unassisted group) reviewing machine learning predictions. Clinicians predicted the likelihood of postoperative 30-day all-cause mortality and postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) within 7 days. The primary outcome was area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) for clinician predictions of mortality and AKI, comparing AUROCs between assisted and unassisted assessments.
resultsWe analysed 5071 patients (mean [range] age: 58 [18-100] yr; 52% female) assessed by 89 clinicians. Of these, 98 (2.2%) patients died within 30 days of surgery and 450 (11.1%) patients sustained AKI. Clinician predictions agreed with the models more strongly in the assisted vs unassisted group (weighted kappa 0.75 vs 0.62 for death, mean difference: 0.13 [95% CI 0.10-0.17]; and 0.79 vs 0.54 for AKI, mean difference: 0.25 [95% CI 0.21-0.29]). Clinical prediction of death was similar between the assisted (AUROC 0.793) and unassisted (AUROC 0.780) groups (mean difference: 0.013 [95% CI -0.070 to 0.097]; P=0.76). Prediction of AKI had an AUROC of 0.734 in the assisted group vs 0.688 in the unassisted group (difference 0.046 [95% CI -0.003 to 0.091]; P=0.06).
conclusionsClinician performance was not improved by machine learning assistance. Further work is needed to clarify the role of machine learning in real-time perioperative risk stratification. CLINICAL
