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

Functionally relevant coronary artery disease (fCAD) can result in premature death or nonfatal acute myocardial infarction. Its early detection is a fundamentally important task in medicine. Classical detection approaches suffer from limited diagnostic accuracy or expose patients to possibly harmful radiation. Here we show how machine learning (ML) can outperform cardiologists in predicting the presence of stress-induced fCAD in terms of area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC: 0.71 vs. 0.64, p = 4.0E-13). We present two ML approaches, the first using eight static clinical variables, whereas the second leverages electrocardiogram signals from exercise stress testing. At a target post-test probability for fCAD of <15%, ML facilitates a potential reduction of imaging procedures by 15-17% compared to the cardiologist's judgement. Predictive performance is validated on an internal temporal data split as well as externally. We also show that combining clinical judgement with conventional ML and deep learning using logistic regression results in a mean AUROC of 0.74.
