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

backgroundA 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is the most commonly used method to diagnose patients with cardiovascular diseases. However, there are a number of possible misinterpretations of the ECG that can be caused by several different factors, such as the misplacement of chest electrodes.

objectiveThe aim of this study is to build advanced algorithms to detect precordial (chest) electrode misplacement.

methodsIn this study, we used traditional machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) to autodetect the misplacement of electrodes V1 and V2 using features from the resultant ECG. The algorithms were trained using data extracted from high-resolution body surface potential maps of patients who were diagnosed with myocardial infarction, diagnosed with left ventricular hypertrophy, or a normal ECG.

resultsDL achieved the highest accuracy in this study for detecting V1 and V2 electrode misplacement, with an accuracy of 93.0% (95% CI 91.46-94.53) for misplacement in the second intercostal space. The performance of DL in the second intercostal space was benchmarked with physicians (n=11 and age 47.3 years, SD 15.5) who were experienced in reading ECGs (mean number of ECGs read in the past year 436.54, SD 397.9). Physicians were poor at recognizing chest electrode misplacement on the ECG and achieved a mean accuracy of 60% (95% CI 56.09-63.90), which was significantly poorer than that of DL (P<.001).

conclusionsDL provides the best performance for detecting chest electrode misplacement when compared with the ability of experienced physicians. DL and ML could be used to help flag ECGs that have been incorrectly recorded and flag that the data may be flawed, which could reduce the number of erroneous diagnoses.
