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

Myocardial repolarization and QT duration are crucial markers for diagnosis and monitoring of congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS). Here we present a novel algorithm to automatically estimate the QT interval based on Lepeschkin's tangent method, as well as parameters underlying T-wave morphology in digital electrocardiograms (ECGs) of 466 patients with LQTS. The algorithm's performance was validated using ECG data from 40 healthy controls. The results were compared against expert measurement of the QT interval, as well as against the results of the ECG device MUSE™ system. Applying an optimizable Support Vector Machine classifier on the algorithm's outcomes achieved an accuracy of 78.1% and area under the curve of 0.85 in classifying LQTS patients with a prolonged QTc interval (upon QT_GS) from those with a normal QTc interval. The presented MATLAB®-based algorithm offers a transparent and reproducible approach to automatic QT interval estimation and QTc calculation in LQTS patients, potentially improving automatized screening, diagnostic precision and patient management.
