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

introductionThe risk of complications associated with transvenous ICDs make the subcutaneous implantable cardiac defibrillator (S-ICD) a valuable alternative in patients with adult congenital heart disease (ACHD). However, higher S-ICD ineligibility and higher inappropriate shock rates-mostly caused by T wave oversensing (TWO)- are observed in this population. We report a novel application of deep learning methods to screen patients for S-ICD eligibility over a longer period than conventional screening.

methodsAdult patients with ACHD and a control group of normal subjects were fitted with a 24-h Holters to record their S-ICD vectors. Their T:R ratio was analysed utilising phase space reconstruction matrices and a deep learning-based model to provide an in-depth description of the T: R variation plot for each vector. T: R variation was compared statistically using t-test.

results13 patients (age 37.4 ± 7.89 years, 61.5 % male, 6 ACHD and 7 control subjects) were enrolled. A significant difference was observed in the mean and median T: R values between the two groups (p < 0.001). There was also a significant difference in the standard deviation of T: R between both groups (p = 0.04).

conclusionsT:R ratio, a main determinant for S-ICD eligibility, is significantly higher with more tendency to fluctuate in ACHD patients when compared to a population with normal hearts. We hypothesise that our novel model could be used to select S-ICD eligible patients by better characterisation of T:R ratio, reducing the risk of TWO and inappropriate shocks in the ACHD patient cohort.
