Deep learning from atrioventricular plane displacement in patients with Takotsubo syndrome: lighting up the black-box.

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
Aims: The spatiotemporal deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) helps reduce echocardiographic readers' erroneous 'judgement calls' on Takotsubo syndrome (TTS). The aim of this study was to improve the interpretability of the spatiotemporal DCNN to discover latent imaging features associated with causative TTS pathophysiology. Methods and results: We applied gradient-weighted class activation mapping analysis to visualize an established spatiotemporal DCNN based on the echocardiographic videos to differentiate TTS (150 patients) from anterior wall ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI, 150 patients). Forty-eight human expert readers interpreted the same echocardiographic videos and prioritized the regions of interest on myocardium for the differentiation. Based on visualization results, we completed optical flow measurement, myocardial strain, and Doppler/tissue Doppler echocardiography studies to investigate regional myocardial temporal dynamics and diastology. While human readers' visualization predominantly focused on the apex of the heart in TTS patients, the DCNN temporal arm's saliency visualization was attentive on the base of the heart, particularly at the atrioventricular (AV) plane. Compared with STEMI patients, TTS patients consistently showed weaker peak longitudinal displacement (in pixels) in the basal inferoseptal (systolic: 2.15 ± 1.41 vs. 3.10 ± 1.66, Conclusion: The spatiotemporal DCNN saliency visualization helps identify the pattern of myocardial temporal dynamics and navigates the quantification of regional myocardial mechanics. Reduced AV plane displacement in TTS patients likely correlates with impaired diastolic mechanics.
