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

backgroundArtificial intelligence-enabled electrocardiogram (AI-ECG) detects left ventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction at single time points, but longitudinal behavior during heart failure treatment remains unexplored. We examined whether paired serial AI-ECG scores track echocardiographic and biochemical trajectories.

methodsIn this retrospective 4-patient case series, previously validated deep learning AI-ECG models generated left ventricular systolic dysfunction and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction scores from serial 12-lead ECGs, paired with ejection fraction, E/e', and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide across treatment courses spanning revascularization, valve replacement with resynchronization therapy, percutaneous coronary intervention, and rhythm control.

resultsSerial score changes were broadly directionally concordant with echocardiographic and biochemical changes. Case-level and within-case discordances occurred, including persistent left ventricular systolic dysfunction elevation after resynchronization and bidirectional movement coinciding with rhythm transitions-consistent with rhythm- and pacing-related effects on ECG morphology.

conclusionsThese hypothesis-generating observations support the feasibility of longitudinal paired AI-ECG analysis and highlight the need for rhythm- and confounder-aware design in future studies.
