ReviewThe Egyptian heart journal : (EHJ) : official bulletin of the Egyptian Society of Cardiology2025
A bibliometric analysis of the 50 most cited articles about artificial intelligence in electrocardiogram.
Review in The Egyptian heart journal : (EHJ) : official bulletin of the Egyptian Society of Cardiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundArtificial intelligence (AI) is a modern tool that increases the diagnostic precision of the classical electrocardiogram (ECG). The objective of this bibliometric analysis was to identify the 50 most cited articles in the domain of AI in ECG, emphasizing publication trends, citation metrics, prominent authors and journals, leading institutions, and significant contributing countries.
resultsThe 50 most cited articles on AI in ECG were published between 2000 and 2020 across 25 journals. The mean citations per article were 488.0, with the highest citations count being 1870. 'IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering' and 'Computers in Biology and Medicine' published the highest number of articles, while Rajendra Acharya U and RS Tan were the most contributing authors. The USA and China had a total of 14 publications, and Singapore was the country with most collaborations.
conclusionsThis bibliometric analysis provides clinicians and researchers with an overview of evolution and progression of AI in the domain of ECG. Improved collaborations among different countries and institutions are essential for achieving advancements in the utilization of AI in ECG.
