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

This study aimed to develop a bimodal convolutional neural network (CNN) by co-training grayscale images and scalograms of ECG for cardiovascular disease classification. The bimodal CNN model was developed using a 12-lead ECG database collected from Chapman University and Shaoxing People's Hospital. The preprocessed database contains 10,588 ECG data and 11 heart rhythms labeled by a specialist physician. The preprocessed one-dimensional ECG signals were converted into two-dimensional grayscale images and scalograms, which are fed simultaneously to the bimodal CNN model as dual input images. The proposed model aims to improve the performance of CVDs classification by making use of ECG grayscale images and scalograms. The bimodal CNN model consists of two identical Inception-v3 backbone models, which were pre-trained on the ImageNet database. The proposed model was fine-tuned with 6780 dual-input images, validated with 1694 dual-input images, and tested on 2114 dual-input images. The bimodal CNN model using two identical Inception-v3 backbones achieved best AUC (0.992), accuracy (95.08%), sensitivity (0.942), precision (0.946) and F1-score (0.944) in lead II. Ensemble model of all leads obtained AUC (0.994), accuracy (95.74%), sensitivity (0.950), precision (0.953), and F1-score (0.952). The bimodal CNN model showed better diagnostic performance than logistic regression, XGBoost, LSTM, single CNN model training with grayscale images alone or with scalograms alone. The proposed bimodal CNN model would be of great help in diagnosing cardiovascular diseases.
