Unsupervised clustering of single-lead electrocardiograms associates with prevalent and incident heart failure in coronary artery disease.

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.
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
Aims: Clinical consequences of coronary artery disease (CAD) are varied [e.g. atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF)], and current risk stratification tools are ineffective. We aimed to identify clusters of individuals with CAD exhibiting unique patterns on the electrocardiogram (ECG) in an unsupervised manner and assess their association with cardiovascular risk. Methods and results: Twenty-one ECG markers were derived from single-lead median-beat ECGs of 1928 individuals with CAD without a previous diagnosis of AF, HF, or ventricular arrhythmia (VA) from the imaging study in UK Biobank (CAD-IMG-UKB). An unsupervised clustering algorithm was used to group these markers into distinct clusters. We characterized each cluster according to their demographic and ECG characteristics, as well as their prevalent and incident risk of AF, HF, and VA (4-year median follow-up). Validation and association with prevalent diagnoses were performed in an independent cohort of 1644 individuals. The model identified two clusters within the CAD-IMG-UKB cohort. Cluster 1 ( Conclusion: Our approach identified a cluster of individuals with CAD sharing ECG characteristics indicating HF risk, holding significant implications for targeted treatment and prevention enabling accessible large-scale screening.
