Automated multi-class ECG arrhythmia detection using VMD and multi-task optimization.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Electrocardiogram (ECG) classification is essential for accurately detecting and tracking heart rhythm disorders. This study proposes a multi-class ECG classification framework for identifying cardiac arrhythmias like Atrial Fibrillation (AF), Ventricular Fibrillation (VF), Normal Rhythm (NR), and Ventricular Tachycardia (VT). The ECG signals were decomposed using Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD), and higher-order statistics as well as entropy-based features were extracted from each mode. Multi-task Particle Swarm Optimization (MT-PSO) was employed to reduce redundant features and enhance the discriminative capability of the dataset. Multiple machine-learning models were evaluated, and optimized feature set led to clear performance improvements. The best results were obtained using LightGBM (ACC 0.993), HistGradientBoost (0.991), XGBoost (0.990), and ExtraTrees (0.990). Execution time also decreased for several models after optimization. Confusion-matrix and ROC analyses confirmed reliable detection across all four cardiac classes, and comparison with reported works shows that the proposed framework offers competitive or improved performance for ECG classification.
