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

backgroundHeart failure (HF) is a leading cause of hospitalization and readmission. Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) continuously capture physiologic diagnostics that change during and after HF decompensation and may enable early post-discharge risk stratification.

objectivesTo predict 60-day HF readmission using deep learning models trained on post-discharge temporal behavior of CIED diagnostic parameters.

methodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) devices enrolled in remote monitoring (2007-2021) with HF hospitalizations identified from linked electronic health record and remote monitoring databases. Five daily device diagnostics (activity, impedance, heart rate variability, and night/day heart rates) were aligned to the index HF discharge (day 0) and analyzed over the subsequent 30 days. Patients readmitted within 7 days and those with substantial missing device data were excluded; remaining recovery windows were labeled by the occurrence of HF readmission 8-60 days post-discharge. We trained and evaluated two architectures of neural networks.

resultsThe cohort included 5734 patients with 12 369 HF hospitalization events; 2489 index hospitalizations were followed by HF readmission within 60 days. Across the 30-day recovery window of device parameters, temporal characteristics of CIED cardiac compass parameters differed significantly between readmitted and non-readmitted patients (p < 0.001), consistent with slower physiologic recovery among readmitted events. On an independent data set, the 1-dimensional convolutional neural network architecture (1D CNN) achieved 0.77 sensitivity, 0.98 specificity, and area under the ROC curve (AUROC) of 0.89.

conclusionDeep learning models leveraging post-discharge trajectories of routinely captured CIED diagnostics can identify patients at higher risk of 60-day HF readmission and may support targeted early follow-up after HF hospitalization.
