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

Objective: Artificial intelligence (IA) is transforming healthcare by enhancing diagnosis and treatment, with up to 90% accuracy in cardiology. However, its adoption faces challenges, including limited training and resources in some regions. While scientific output in Latin America and Caribe (LAC) has grown, it remains low compared to other regions, underscoring the need for innovative solutions to the cardiovascular health crisis. This study analyzes AI-related cardiology research in LAC from 2018 to 2023. Method: This descriptive scientometric study used the Scopus database to analyze AI in cardiology research in LAC. SciVal, VOSviewer, and R Studio were applied to assess publication volume, collaboration types, citations, and research networks. Results: A total of 152 documents, 1,054 citations, and 1,095 authors were identified, averaging 6.9 citations per document. Key topics included atrial fibrillation, percutaneous coronary intervention, and cardiac monitoring. Colombia, Argentina, and Mexico led in scientific output, with international collaboration accounting for 63.8% of publications and an upward trend in research output over time. Conclusions: AI-related cardiology research in LAC is growing, but certain limitations. This analysis highlights key areas and the need to enhance scientific production. It provides a base for future studies and collaborations to address the cardiovascular health crisis and expand AI adoption in cardiovascular care.
