Contrastive Transformer-Driven Discovery of Temporal Hemodynamic Subphenotypes in Cardiac Surgery Patients.
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 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
Cardiac surgery patients experience rapidly evolving hemodynamics in early post-operative period requiring intensive support. Identifying hemodynamic subphenotypes from these data can inform personalized management. Using 24-hour high-resolution physiologic and treatment data from 6,630 MIMIC-IV and 1,963 SICdb patients, we trained a transformer encoder with a reconstruction-contrastive objective to derive patient-level embeddings capturing multivariate temporal dynamics within first 24h of ICU stay and compared them against those generated by dynamic time warping (DTW). Spectral clustering uncovered three reproducible hemodynamic subphenotypes. Compared with subphenotype 1, subphenotype 3 received more IV fluids, vasopressors, inotropes, and exhibited higher in-hospital mortality (OR 5.85, 95 % CI 2.43-14.13), longer ICU stay (7.12 days, 95% CI: 5.52-8.73) and hospitalization (8.86 days, 95% CI: 6.57-11.16). DTW derived subphenotypes had weaker prognostic separation. Thus, contrastive-transformer framework identified more clinically meaningful temporal hemodynamic subphenotypes that may optimize post-operative risk stratification and inform personalized management.
