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.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI)-derived electrocardiographic (ECG) age is a promising marker of atrial fibrillation (AF) risk. We developed PROPHECG-Age Single-an AI model estimating ECG age from wearable single-lead ECGs-and examined whether the ECG-age gap (predicted minus chronological age) is associated with AF presence and burden in real-world self-monitoring context. One million 12-lead ECGs from a hospital were converted to synthetic single-lead signals via Cycle-Consistent Generative Adversarial Network and used to train a residual network-based model. Validation in two independent wearable cohorts (S-Patch [ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT05119725, registered November 2021]; Memo Patch [ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT05355948, registered May 2022]) showed mean absolute errors of 10.01 and 11.88 years, respectively. The pooled association with AF presence was significant (odds ratio 1.03 per 1-year gap), and for AF burden, each 1-year gap increase corresponded to a 0.8 percentage point rise. These findings support wearable-based AI-ECG age as a potential digital biomarker for proactive cardiovascular monitoring.
