A machine learning approach to differentiate wide QRS tachycardia: distinguishing ventricular tachycardia from supraventricular tachycardia.
Article in Journal of interventional cardiac electrophysiology : an international journal of arrhythmias and pacing, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundDifferential diagnosis of wide QRS tachycardia (WQCT) has been a challenging issue. Published algorithms to distinguish ventricular tachycardia (VT) and supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) have limited diagnostic capabilities.
methodsA total of 278 patients with WQCT from January 2010 to March 2022 were enrolled. The electrophysiological study confirmed SVT in 154 patients and VT in 65 ones. Two hundred nineteen WQCT 12-lead ECGs were randomly divided into development cohort (n = 165) and testing cohort (n = 54) data sets. The development cohort was split into a training group (n = 115) and an internal validation group (n = 50). Forty ECG features extracted from the 219 WQCT ECGs are fed into 9 iteratively trained ML algorithms. This novel ML algorithm was also compared with four published algorithms.
resultsIn the development cohort, the Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM) model displayed the maximum area under curve (AUC) (0.91, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.81-1.00). In the testing cohort, the GBM model had a higher AUC of 0.97 compared to 4 validated ECG algorithms, namely, Brugada (0.68), avR (0.62), RWPTII (0.72), and LLA algorithms (0.70). Accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, and positive predictive value of the GBM model were 0.94, 0.97, 0.90, 0.94, and 0.95, respectively.
conclusionsA GBM ML model contributes to distinguishing SVT from VT based on surface ECG features. In addition, we were able to identify important indicators for distinguishing WQCT.
