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

aimsHeart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) requires an efficient screening method. We developed a deep learning model (DLM) to screen HFpEF risk using electrocardiograms (ECGs). METHODS AND

resultsA cohort study was conducted utilising data from Cohorts A and B. A convolutional neural network-long short-term memory (CNN-LSTM) DLM was employed. HFpEF risk was determined by left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) and clinical symptoms. The DLM was trained by ECGs. LVEDP for each patient was collected through invasive left ventricular catheterisation. Cohort A and B comprised data from individuals at high risk for HFpEF (LVEDP > 12 mmHg) and low risk for HFpEF (LVEDP ≤ 12 mmHg). The model was trained on Cohort A and prospectively validated on Cohort B.

resultsA total of 238 patients underwent ECG and left ventricular catheterisation for model training in Cohort A, and 117 patients for validation in Cohort B. The DLM achieved 78% accuracy in assessing HFpEF risk in Cohort A, while in Cohort B, it demonstrated 78% accuracy, 71.9% specificity, and 71.7% sensitivity. In the validation Cohort B, the DLM-identified high-risk HFpEF group exhibited significantly higher prevalence of diabetes (22.03%-11.86%, P < 0.01), higher BMI indices (25.92-24.22 kg/cm

conclusionsThe DLM offers an accurate, cost-effective tool for HFpEF risk assessment, potentially facilitating early detection and improved clinical management.
