Multicenter Validation of Video-based Deep Learning to Evaluate Defecation Patterns on 3-dimensional High-definition Anorectal Manometry.
Article in Clinical gastroenterology and hepatology : the official clinical practice journal of the American Gastroenterological Association, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
BACKGROUND &
aimsDeep learning technologies have demonstrated the ability to identify dyssynergic defecation for diagnosis of common gastrointestinal motility disorders through nuanced interpretation of 3-dimensional high-definition anal manometry (3D-HDAM). We aimed to validate a deep learning algorithm capable of spatiotemporal analysis of 3D-HDAM in a multicenter setting.
methodsWe included 1214 consecutive anorectal manometry studies performed across 3 large health care systems between 2018 and 2022. Deep learning results were compared with expert interpretation according to the London consensus protocol as reference standard. Diagnostic accuracy was assessed using bootstrap sampling to calculate area under the curve (AUC). We used Wilcoxon tests to analyze how well the confidence scores from the deep learning model correlated with the likelihood that experts would assign ambiguous labels in cases where determinations were uncertain. Video-based deep learning features were clustered using Gaussian Mixture Modeling to reveal novel dyssynergia subtypes.
resultsThe deep hybrid learning algorithm achieved AUCs of 0.99 (± 0.001 standard deviation), 0.90 ± 0.008, and 0.79 ± 0.003 at Dartmouth Health, Henry Ford Hospital, and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, respectively, performance comparable or superior to solely deep learning or traditional modeling on every cohort. The algorithm appeared capable of reporting confidence aligned with manual expert interpretation of ambiguity (W = -20.50; P < .001; -1.73; P = .08; and -3.22; P = .001). We further identified 2 novel classes of dyssynergia patterns that may represent clinically relevant phenotypes of dyssynergia.
conclusions3D-HDAM combined with video-based deep learning is a useful and clinically relevant technology for evaluating anorectal dyssynergia. Future use cases can be expanded to evaluate other motility disorders and their treatment.
