Predicting peripheral venous catheter related phlebitis using machine learning (PPML): development and prospective validation of PPML for cardiology inpatients.
Article in BMC medical informatics and decision making, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPeripheral venous catheter use is a common healthcare practice and carries risk for peripheral venous catheter-related phlebitis (PVCP). The aims of this study were to develop a machine learning model using inpatient hospital data to accurately predict the risk of PVCP and apply this model for early identification to reduce the risk of PVCP in the department of Cardiology.
methodsA prediction model was developed to estimate the risk of developing PVCP within 3–24 h after introduction during a clinical admission in the department of Cardiology. Data of 107.419 generic hospital clinical admissions between January 2017 and December 2020 were used. For evaluating generalizability of the model, 1.199 clinical admissions between January 2021 and May 2021 from Cardiology were used as validation dataset. For prospectively evaluating clinical utility, 9.885 admissions between May 2021 and December 2022 of Cardiology were used.
resultsOur results demonstrate a strong-performing model with an AUC of 0.89 (CI: 0.87–0.91) based on the test set, and an AUC of 0.72 (CI: 0.66–0.78) based on the validation data. A significant descending trend in the incidence of PVCP in long stay admissions (p-value of 0. 01) was observed during prospective evaluation.
conclusionsThe early identification proves beneficial in reducing the risk of PVCP significantly for patients with long-stay admissions in the Cardiology department.
