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

purpose of reviewTo (i) review the concept of artificial intelligence (AI); (ii) summarize recent developments in artificial intelligence-enabled electrocardiogram (AI-ECG); (iii) address notable inherent limitations and challenges of AI-ECG; and (iv) discuss the future direction of the field. RECENT

findingsAdvancements in machine learning and computing methods have led to application of AI-ECG and potential new applications to patient care. Further study is needed to verify previous findings in diverse populations as well as begin to confront the limitations needed for clinical implementation. Nearly one century after the Nobel Prize was awarded to Willem Einthoven for demonstrating that an electrocardiogram (ECG) could record the electrical signature of the heart, the ECG remains one of the most important diagnostic tests in modern medicine. We now stand at the edge of true ECG innovation. Simultaneous advancements in computing power, wireless technology, digitized data availability, and machine learning have led to the birth of AI-ECG algorithms with novel capabilities and real potential for clinical application. AI has the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy and efficiency by providing fully automated, unbiased, and unambiguous ECG analysis along with promising new findings that may unlock new value in the ECG. These breakthroughs may cause a paradigm shift in clinical workflow as well as patient monitoring and management.
