Application of a Diagnostic Methodology of Cardiac Systems Based on the Proportions of Entropy in Normal Patients and with Different Pathologies.

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.
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
introductionDynamical systems theory, probability, and entropy were the substrate for the development of the diagnostic and predictive methodology of adult heart dynamics.
objectiveTo apply a previously developed methodology from dynamical systems, probability, and entropy in both normal and pathological subjects.
methodsElectrocardiographic records were selected from 30 healthy subjects and 200 with different pathologies, with a length of least 18 h. Numerical attractors from dynamical attractors and the probability of occurrence of ordered pairs of consecutive heart rates were built. A calculation of entropy and its proportions was performed and statistical analysis was conducted.
resultsThe normal patients' heart dynamics were evaluated according to the methodology of entropy proportions, highlighting that there are differences in normal patients with different pathologies. There was maximal level of sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic agreement.
conclusionProportional entropy constitutes a diagnostic and predictive method of heart systems, and may be useful as a tool to objectively diagnose and perform the follow-up of normal and pathological cases.
