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.
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
Aims: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains a leading global cause of mortality, where timely diagnosis is critical to enable early intervention. The 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is a critical tool for AMI detection. While deep learning (DL) models show promise for automated ECG analysis, most prior studies rely on small, curated datasets with limited external validation, limiting their clinical applicability. Methods and results: We developed a multimodal DL model (Conv-BiLSTM-Attn) integrating convolutional and recurrent neural networks with an attention mechanism. Using a large, multi-centre dataset of 145 656 ECGs from 96 813 patients across three Swedish hospitals. We trained the model to detect AMI using raw 12-lead ECG signals and demographic inputs (age, sex). Model performance was evaluated under two external validation protocols: generalization across hospitals (GAH) and leave-one-hospital-out (LOHO). The model achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) of 0.848 (95% CI: 0.84-0.86) and an area under the precision-recall (AUPRC) of 0.456, reflecting class imbalance (∼6-10% AMI prevalence) under the GAH protocol. Subgroup AUROCs ranged from 0.79 to 0.92 across age and sex groups. At the Youden-optimized threshold (0.439), the model showed sensitivity of 0.736, specificity of 0.793, negative predictive value of 0.976, and weighted F1-score of 0.837. Under the LOHO protocol, AUROCs ranged from 0.801-0.849. At Youden thresholds (0.34-0.50), sensitivity ranged from 0.671 to 0.776 and specificity from 0.651 to 0.801, confirming generalizability across sites. Conv-BiLSTM-Attn outperformed benchmark models, with Score-CAM highlighting relevant ST-T segments. Conclusion: This DL model can support accurate and generalizable AMI detection from routine ECGs, with the Conv-BiLSTM-Attn architecture outperforming current benchmark approaches.
