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

Here we use a statistical atlas of end-diastolic (ED) and end-systolic (ES) biventricular shapes - previously derived from the UK Biobank imaging substudy - to generate meshes for finite element (FE) simulations of ventricular wall mechanics. The models used the Holzapfel-Ogden constitutive law for passive material properties and a time-varying elastance model of systolic tension development. Simulated ED and ES deformations were projected onto the shape atlas and the principal components were used to train a multi-layer perceptron as a surrogate model. The input layer included shape modes of the unloaded ventricular geometry, and material parameters and ventricular pressures at ED and ES. After training with 444 simulations, the surrogate model achieved a mean square error in predicted displacements of < 2 mm and volumetric overlaps with FE-predicted deformed shapes > 97%, demonstrating good fidelity to the simulated ground truth. This approach may enable accurate prediction of ventricular wall mechanics without computationally expensive finite element analysis, offering a more feasible method for rapid, subject-specific cardiac modeling.
