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

backgroundThe 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is the gold-standard ECG method used by cardiologists. However, accurate electrode placement is difficult and time consuming, and can lead to incorrect interpretation.

objectivesThe objective of this study was to accurately reconstruct a full 12-lead ECG from a reduced lead set.

methodsFive-electrode placement was used to generate leads I, II, III, aVL, aVR, aVF and V2. These seven leads served as inputs to the focus time-delay neural network (FTDNN) which derived the remaining five precordial leads (V1, V3-V6). An online archived medical database containing 549 cases of ECG recordings was used to train, validate and test the FTDNN.

resultsAfter removing outliers, the reconstructed leads exhibited correlation values of between 0.8609 and 0.9678 as well as low root mean square error values of between 123 μV and 245 μV across all cases, for both healthy controls and cardiovascular disease subgroups except the bundle branch block disease subgroup. The results of the FTDNN method compared favourably to those of prior lead reconstruction methods.

conclusionsA standard 12-lead ECG was successfully reconstructed with high quantitative correlations from a reduced lead set using only five electrodes, of which four were placed on the limbs. Less reliance on precordial leads will aid in the reduction of electrode placement errors, ultimately improving ECG lead accuracy and reduce the number of cases that are incorrectly diagnosed.
