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

This study examines the utility of neural networks for detecting coronary artery disease noninvasively by using the clinical examination variables and extracting useful information from the diastolic heart sounds associated with coronary occlusions. It has been widely reported that coronary stenoses produce sounds due to the turbulent blood flow in these vessels. These complex and highly attenuated signals taken from recordings made in both soundproof and noisy rooms were detected and analyzed to provide feature set based on the poles and power spectral density function (PSD) of the Autoregressive (AR) method after Adaptive Line Enhancement (ALE) method. In addition, some physical examination variables such as sex, age, body weight, smoking condition, diastolic pressure, systolic pressure and derivation from them were included in the feature vector. This feature vector was used as the input pattern to the neural network. The analysis was studied on one hundred recordings (63 abnormal, 37 normals). The network correctly identified 84% of the subjects with coronary artery disease and 89% of the normal subjects.
