Artificial intelligence-guided detection of under-recognized cardiomyopathies on point-of-care cardiac ultrasound: a multi-center study.
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 2024. 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: Point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) enables cardiac imaging at the bedside and in communities but is limited by abbreviated protocols and variation in quality. We developed and tested artificial intelligence (AI) models to automate the detection of underdiagnosed cardiomyopathies from cardiac POCUS. Methods: In a development set of 290,245 transthoracic echocardiographic videos across the Yale-New Haven Health System (YNHHS), we used augmentation approaches and a customized loss function weighted for view quality to derive a POCUS-adapted, multi-label, video-based convolutional neural network (CNN) that discriminates HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) and ATTR-CM (transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy) from controls without known disease. We evaluated the final model across independent, internal and external, retrospective cohorts of individuals who underwent cardiac POCUS across YNHHS and Mount Sinai Health System (MSHS) emergency departments (EDs) (2011-2024) to prioritize key views and validate the diagnostic and prognostic performance of single-view screening protocols. Findings: We identified 33,127 patients (median age 61 [IQR: 45-75] years, n=17,276 [52·2%] female) at YNHHS and 5,624 (57 [IQR: 39-71] years, n=1,953 [34·7%] female) at MSHS with 78,054 and 13,796 eligible cardiac POCUS videos, respectively. An AI-enabled single-view screening approach successfully discriminated HCM (AUROC of 0·90 [YNHHS] & 0·89 [MSHS]) and ATTR-CM (YNHHS: AUROC of 0·92 [YNHHS] & 0·99 [MSHS]). In YNHHS, 40 (58·0%) HCM and 23 (47·9%) ATTR-CM cases had a positive screen at median of 2·1 [IQR: 0·9-4·5] and 1·9 [IQR: 1·0-3·4] years before clinical diagnosis. Moreover, among 24,448 participants without known cardiomyopathy followed over 2·2 [IQR: 1·1-5·8] years, AI-POCUS probabilities in the highest (vs lowest) quintile for HCM and ATTR-CM conferred a 15% (adj.HR 1·15 [95%CI: 1·02-1·29]) and 39% (adj.HR 1·39 [95%CI: 1·22-1·59]) higher age- and sex-adjusted mortality risk, respectively. Interpretation: We developed and validated an AI framework that enables scalable, opportunistic screening of treatable cardiomyopathies wherever POCUS is used.
