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

AI techniques have recently been put under the spotlight for analyzing electrocardiograms (ECGs). However, the performance of AI-based models relies on the accumulation of large-scale labeled datasets, which is challenging. To increase the performance of AI-based models, data augmentation (DA) strategies have been developed recently. The study presented a comprehensive systematic literature review of DA for ECG signals. We conducted a systematic search and categorized the selected documents by AI application, number of leads involved, DA method, classifier, performance improvements after DA, and datasets employed. With such information, this study provided a better understanding of the potential of ECG augmentation in enhancing the performance of AI-based ECG applications. This study adhered to the rigorous PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews. To ensure comprehensive coverage, publications between 2013 and 2023 were searched across multiple databases, including IEEE Explore, PubMed, and Web of Science. The records were meticulously reviewed to determine their relevance to the study's objective, and those that met the inclusion criteria were selected for further analysis. Consequently, 119 papers were deemed relevant for further review. Overall, this study shed light on the potential of DA to advance the field of ECG diagnosis and monitoring.
