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

We present MIMIC-III-Ext-PPG, a large-scale, quality-assessed photoplethysmography (PPG) dataset derived from the matched waveform subset of MIMIC-III. Our dataset provides 30-second PPG segments with annotations tailored for various cardiovascular and respiratory analyses. In particular, with 6.3 million segments from 6,189 subjects, it represents the largest publicly available resource for heart rhythm classification, with heart rhythm annotations derived from bedside charted observations. For subsets where arterial blood pressure (ABP), respiratory (RESP), and/or electrocardiography (ECG) signals are available, we also provide systolic/diastolic blood pressure, respiratory rate, and heart rate annotations, extracted using best practice from the underlying signals. We provide signal quality assessments for all signals. This ensures a high-quality, publicly available dataset of unprecedented size that can be used as a benchmarking resource for machine learning approaches for a broad range of prediction tasks, which remains easily extendable by leveraging additional clinical metadata from the MIMIC-III clinical database.
