Deep Learning Utilizing Suboptimal Spirometry Data to Improve Lung Function and Mortality Prediction in the UK Biobank.
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Spirometry measures lung function by selecting the best of multiple efforts meeting pre-specified quality control (QC), and reporting two key metrics: forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV Methods: We evaluated volume-time spirometry data from the UK Biobank. We identified "best" spirometry efforts as those passing QC with the maximum FVC. "Discarded" efforts were either submaximal or failed QC. To create a combined representation of lung function we implemented a contrastive learning approach, Spirogram-based Contrastive Learning Framework (Spiro-CLF), which utilized all recorded volume-time curves per participant and applied different transformations (e.g. flow-volume, flow-time). In a held-out 20% testing subset we applied the Spiro-CLF representation of a participant's overall lung function to 1) binary predictions of FEV Findings: We included 940,705 volume-time curves from 352,684 UK Biobank participants with 2-3 spirometry efforts per individual (66.7% with 3 efforts) and at least one QC-passing spirometry effort. Of all spirometry efforts, 24.1% failed QC and 37.5% were submaximal. Spiro-CLF prediction of FEV Interpretation: A contrastive learning model using raw spirometry curves can accurately predict lung function using submaximal and QC-failing efforts. This model also has superior prediction of all-cause mortality compared to standard lung function measurements.
