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

backgroundMyocardial infarction (MI) is a life-threatening condition caused by sudden interruption of blood supply to the heart. Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the primary tool for MI diagnosis, but interpretation challenges exist. This study aimed to optimize MI detection by developing a hybrid CNN-GRU Deep Learning model (DLM) based on ECG as a diagnostic support tool.

methodsThis retrospective diagnostic study included a total of 56,354 ECGs, comprising 41,871 from patients diagnosed with (MI) and 14,474 from healthy patients. Each ECG record consisted of a 20-second 15-lead recording per individual, sampled at 1000 Hz. The CNN-GRU model was trained on 85% of these ECGs and validated on the remaining 15%. The CNN-GRU model was executed on the pre-processed data using the Pan-Tompkins algorithm obtained from the PhysioNet website (PTB Diagnostic ECG Database), and all recordings were labelled by expert cardiologists. We examined a new model for classifying ECG heartbeats and found that it can compete with advanced models. The performance of the DLM was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, Macro Average, and Weighted Average.

resultsThe area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of the CNN-GRU model for MI detection was close to one. The CNN-GRU model achieved excellent performance with 15 leads (ACC = 99.43%, sensitivity = 99.71%, specificity = 98.59%). Using lead II alone, performance improved slightly (ACC = 99.73%, sensitivity = 99.75%, specificity = 99.66%). The high AUC and other metrics indicate strong diagnostic ability. Based on the reported results, the CNN-GRU model using lead II was the best model.

conclusionsThe findings suggest that the proposed model can support clinical decision-making and guide future research in cardiovascular medicine.
