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

Objectives: Early recognition of critical deterioration events (CDEs) in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) is crucial to improving outcomes, but the real-time performance of machine-learning (ML)-based alert systems is rarely assessed. We prospectively evaluated the performance, operational utility, and deployment feasibility of the PICU Warning Index (P-WIN), a personalized ML alert system predicting CDE in the PICU. Materials and methods: In this prospective cohort study at a quaternary-care children's hospital, P-WIN estimated deterioration risk for PICU patients aged 0-24 years at 30-minute intervals between January 7 and April 7, 2026 using electronic health record data collected via Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources and proprietary EPIC API endpoints. CDEs included cardiopulmonary resuscitation, initiation of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, dilute (10 μg/mL) epinephrine bolus, or unplanned endotracheal intubation. P-WIN was compared to baseline workflows: an automated PICU Warning Tool and a clinician-huddle-based assessment. Primary measures were CDE-level sensitivity, admission-level positive predictive value (PPV), and alerts per patient-day. Results: Among 1005 PICU patients, 99 CDEs were experienced by 62 patients. P-WIN detected 73% of these CDE 1-24 hours in advance, outperforming the PICU Warning Tool (39%, Conclusion: P-WIN detected significantly more CDEs than existing PICU Warning tool and huddle workflows while maintaining a similar PPV. Our findings underscore the feasibility of ML-based personalized warning systems to enhance shared situational awareness of PICU deterioration.
