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

Quantitative transthoracic echocardiographic measurements support cardiovascular assessment, but structured report-label values may be unavailable for downstream research. We evaluated whether frozen EchoPrime study-level embeddings encoded signal associated with structured left ventricular outflow tract velocity-time integral (LVOT VTI) and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) report-label values. MIMIC-IV-ECHO studies with report labels and frozen EchoPrime embeddings were analyzed. Clip-level 512-dimensional embeddings were mean-pooled into study-level all-clips embeddings. Supervised Ridge regression used deterministic subject-level train/validation/test splits, train-fit standardization, and validation-only alpha selection. LVOT VTI was primary, TAPSE secondary. Comparators were a train-median null model and leakage-safe non-image baselines using age, sex, and acquisition metadata. For LVOT VTI, 3782 studies were split into 2654 training, 573 validation, and 555 test studies. Ridge achieved test mean absolute error (MAE) 3.64 cm versus 4.54 cm for null, root mean squared error (RMSE) 4.66 cm, R
