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

Background: Prediction models for mortality risk in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) have traditionally relied on static admission data, which restricts capturing disease dynamics. Longitudinal follow-up data were used to develop a dynamic model to improve accuracy and provide evidence for tailored interventions. Methods: We enrolled 1,333 CHF patients from 3 Shanxi centres. Data included CHF patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures (CHF-PROM), lifestyle, medications, and prognosis. Endpoint: all-cause mortality. Using sequential data, we developed Gated Recurrent Units (GRU), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP), and Logistic Regression (LR) for 3-year risk. Performance assessed by area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), accuracy, true negative rate (TNR), true positive rate (TPR), Brier score, and F1-score. Temporal Shapley Additive exPlanations (TimeSHAP) provided interpretability, and a web tool built. Results: Among models tested, the GRU model demonstrated strongest predictive accuracy, with performance steadily increasing as follow-up progressed. By 24 months, the GRU-based model attained its peak predictive performance, yielding an AUC of 0.765 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.761-0.768), an F1-score of 0.537 (95% CI: 0.531-0.542), and a Brier score of 0.208 (95% CI: 0.199-0.216). TimeSHAP indicated that physical condition, appetite, sleep, physical independence, and anxiety within the CHF-PROM, together with age and New York Heart Association Functional Classification functional class, were key predictors of 3-year all-cause mortality in patients with CHF. Conclusion: PRO data from multiple follow-ups, combined with a model constructed using GRU, provides promising tool for predicting mortality risk in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). The self-developed web-based decision support system allows users to calculate risk scores simply by entering patient information. Trial Registration: Study registered with the China Clinical Trial Registry [identifier: ChiCTR2100043337]. Experimental registration date is February 11, 2021.
