Article in Surgery today, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05810207 (The External Validation of a Machine Learning Model Predicting Anastomotic Leakage Intraoperatively in Patients Undergoing a Colorectal Resection - A1Check Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

Complications after surgery have a major impact on short- and long-term outcomes, and decades of technological advancement have not yet led to the eradication of their risk. The accurate prediction of complications, recently enhanced by the development of machine learning algorithms, has the potential to completely reshape surgical patient management. In this paper, we reflect on multiple issues facing the implementation of machine learning, from the development to the actual implementation of machine learning models in daily clinical practice, providing suggestions on the use of machine learning models for predicting postoperative complications after major abdominal surgery.
