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-based cardiac motion mapping offers predictive insights into pulmonary hypertension (PH) disease progression and its impact on the heart. We proposed an automated deep learning pipeline for bi-ventricular segmentation and 3D wall motion analysis in PH rodent models for bridging the clinical developments. A data set of 163 short-axis cine cardiac magnetic resonance scans were collected longitudinally from monocrotaline (MCT) and Sugen-hypoxia (SuHx) PH rats and used for training a fully convolutional network for automated segmentation. The model produced an accurate annotation in < 1 s for each scan (Dice metric > 0.92). High-resolution atlas fitting was performed to produce 3D cardiac mesh models and calculate the regional wall motion between end-diastole and end-systole. Prominent right ventricular hypokinesia was observed in PH rats (-37.7% ± 12.2 MCT; -38.6% ± 6.9 SuHx) compared to healthy controls, attributed primarily to the loss in basal longitudinal and apical radial motion. This automated bi-ventricular rat-specific pipeline provided an efficient and novel translational tool for rodent studies in alignment with clinical cardiac imaging AI developments.
