Development and validation of a prediction model for in-hospital mortality in patients with intra-abdominal sepsis: a dual-database study using MIMIC-IV and eICU databases.
Article in BMJ open, 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
objectivesTo develop and validate a predictive model for assessing in-hospital mortality in patients with intra-abdominal sepsis (IAS), a leading cause of sepsis.
designSecondary analysis of two retrospective critical care databases.
settingData extracted from the Intensive Care Medicine Information Marketplace IV (MIMIC-IV) and the eICU Collaborative Research Database.
participantsPatients with IAS from MIMIC-IV (2008-2019; 1300 patients, 264 deaths) for model training and internal validation, and eICU (2014-2015; 149 patients, 33 deaths) for external validation.
interventionsClinical data were used for constructing a predictive model. Variable selection was performed using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression, followed by model development with multivariable logistic regression. The model was visualised as a nomogram. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Secondary outcomes were model performance metrics, including the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), calibration curves, decision curve analysis and clinical impact curves.
resultsSix predictors (lactate, age, activated partial thromboplastin time, blood urea nitrogen, total bilirubin and platelets) were identified. The predictive model showed good performance with an AUC of 0.795 (95% CI 0.758 to 0.831) in the training set (n=910) and 0.846 (95% CI 0.772 to 0.919) in the external validation set (n=149).
conclusionA robust predictive model was developed to estimate the risk of in-hospital mortality in patients with IAS. This tool may assist clinicians in enhancing patient management and decision-making.
