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

objectivesWe evaluated bidirectional long short-term memory models for predicting inpatient mortality using different approaches to processing vital signs data collected during the initial 24 h of intensive care unit (ICU) admissions. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe compared 3 vital-sign representations: (1) raw data recorded every 5 min, (2) preprocessed data averaged hourly, and (3) preprocessed data using biomarker representations that extends a digital oximetry biomarker toolbox of PhysioZoo software, applied to blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, respiratory rate, and SpO2.

resultsAcross 2 large ICU datasets, HiRID and eICU, models trained on the frequency-normalized representation achieved higher discrimination and lower Brier scores than those trained on raw 5-min and hourly averaged data. DISCUSSION: The use of biomarker representations of vital signs yielded the largest improvements in discrimination and overall probabilistic performance reflected by lower Brier scores for predicting inpatient mortality by deep learning.

conclusionThus, we recommend using a similar approach to vital signs preprocessing for time-series predictive models.
