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

Artificial intelligence, particularly machine learning, has gained prominence in medical research due to its potential to develop non-invasive diagnostics. Pulmonary hypertension presents a diagnostic challenge due to its heterogeneous nature and similarity in symptoms to other cardiovascular conditions. Here, we describe the development of a supervised machine learning model using non-invasive signals (orthogonal voltage gradient and photoplethysmographic) and a hand-crafted library of 3298 features. The developed model achieved a sensitivity of 87% and a specificity of 83%, with an overall Area Under the Receiver Operator Characteristic Curve (AUC-ROC) of 0.93. Subgroup analysis showed consistent performance across genders, age groups and classes of PH. Feature importance analysis revealed changes in metrics that measure conduction, repolarization and respiration as significant contributors to the model. The model demonstrates promising performance in identifying pulmonary hypertension, offering potential for early detection and intervention when embedded in a point-of-care diagnostic system.
