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

Machine learning (ML) algorithms "learn" information directly from data, and their performance improves proportionally with the number of high-quality samples. The aim of our systematic review is to present the state of the art regarding the implementation of ML techniques in the management of heart failure (HF) patients. We manually searched MEDLINE and Cochrane databases as well the reference lists of the relevant review studies and included studies. Our search retrieved 122 relevant studies. These studies mainly refer to (a) the role of ML in the classification of HF patients into distinct categories which may require a different treatment strategy, (b) discrimination of HF patients from the healthy population or other diseases, (c) prediction of HF outcomes, (d) identification of HF patients from electronic records and identification of HF patients with similar characteristics who may benefit form a similar treatment strategy, (e) supporting the extraction of important data from clinical notes, and (f) prediction of outcomes in HF populations with implantable devices (left ventricular assist device, cardiac resynchronization therapy). We concluded that ML techniques may play an important role for the efficient construction of methodologies for diagnosis, management, and prediction of outcomes in HF patients.
