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

Purpose: We sought to (1) quantify lack of inter-clinician diagnostic agreement of shock etiology and (2) predict patients without complete inter-clinician diagnostic agreement of shock etiology. Methods: This multicenter retrospective, cohort study identified patients evaluated by two or more clinicians who documented a shock diagnosis from 2018 to 2023 across intensive care units (ICU) at 9 acute care hospitals. Shock etiology was abstracted using regular expression from clinician notes in the electronic health record then was made into a 9-dimensional vector representing 9 different shock etiologies. Inter-clinician diagnostic agreement of these vectors was calculated for each patient using Cosine Similarity Scores. Measure of agreement was based on cosine similarity of etiology vectors, not clinical adjudication. Patients without complete inter-clinician diagnostic agreement (Cosine Similarity Score < 1) were compared to patients with diagnostic agreement. Machine learning models were tested to predict patients without complete inter-clinician diagnostic agreement. Results: Of 7302 patients, 1327 (18.2%) never had complete inter-clinician diagnostic agreement. Patients without diagnostic agreement were more often Black (20.5 vs 16.2%, Conclusion: Patients without complete inter-clinician diagnostic agreement of shock etiology can be successfully predicted. Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13755-025-00423-w.
