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

purposePreeclampsia is a major obstetric disorder. Machine learning (ML) models incorporating angiogenic biomarkers show promise in predicting related adverse outcomes, but refinement is needed for clinical use. This study aimed to reduce features to a clinically meaningful set and to develop and validate predictive endpoints for preeclampsia-associated outcomes.

methodsA model with a reduced feature set was derived from a training cohort of 1,634 patients (2, 412 visits) and then tested on a validation cohort of 402 patients (540 visits). Three machine learning models were developed to predict (1) adverse outcomes overall, (2) delivery within 14 days before 34 weeks of gestation, and (3) delivery within 7 days after 34 weeks, using 13 features versus 114 originally.

resultsReduced-feature models demonstrated comparable accuracy to original models across all endpoints. Model 1 (any adverse outcome) achieved an Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (AUROC) of 0.92 (95% CI: 0.88-0.96) in training and 0.89 (95% CI: 0.84-0.93, p = 0.31) in the validation cohort, respectively. For delivery within 14 days, the AUROC was 0.92 (95% CI: 0.87-0.96) in training and 0.85 (95% CI: 0.78-0.92) in validation (p = 0.13). Delivery within 7 days showed AUROCs of 0.79 (95% CI: 0.70-0.87) and 0.80 (95% CI: 0.75-0.85) (p = 0.78).

conclusionA machine learning model with a significantly reduced number of features can accurately predict clinically relevant preeclampsia outcomes. The identified endpoints (timing of delivery and adverse events) could support clinical decision-making and help reduce maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality.
