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

backgroundThis study addresses the gap in knowledge regarding the long-term mortality implications of postoperative acute kidney injury (PO-AKI) utilizing advanced machine learning techniques to predict outcomes more accurately than traditional statistical models.

methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from seven institutions between March 2009 and December 2019. Machine learning models were developed to predict all-cause mortality of PO-AKI patients using 23 preoperative variables and one postoperative variable. Model performance was compared to a traditional statistical approach with Cox regression analysis. The concordance index was used as a predictive performance metric to compare prediction capabilities among different models.

resultsAmong 199,403 patients, 2,105 developed PO-AKI. During a median follow-up of 144 months (interquartile range, 99.61- 170.71 months), 472 in-hospital deaths occurred. Subjects with PO-AKI had a significantly lower survival rate than those without PO-AKI (p < 0.001). For predicting mortality, the XGBoost with an accelerated failure time model had the highest concordance index (0.7521), followed by random survival forest (0.7371), multivariable Cox regression model (0.7318), survival support vector machine (0.7304), and gradient boosting (0.7277).

conclusionXGBoost with an accelerated failure time model was developed in this study to predict long-term mortality associated with PO-AKI. Its performance was superior to conventional models. The application of machine learning techniques may offer a promising approach to predict mortality following PO-AKI more accurately, providing a basis for developing targeted interventions and clinical guidelines to improve patient outcomes.
