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

Artificial intelligence (AI) is being investigated across the acute coronary syndrome (ACS) care pathway, including early diagnosis, coronary lesion characterization, procedural guidance, and risk prediction. This comprehensive review examines the current evidence across the entire ACS trajectory, with particular emphasis on clinically actionable and interventional applications. AI-enabled electrocardiography (ECG) may improve detection of myocardial infarction, including occlusion myocardial infarction (OMI) that does not meet conventional STEMI criteria. Models combining clinical data and high-sensitivity troponin may improve early rule-out and rule-in. In coronary imaging, AI can quantify plaque characteristics and assist with the interpretation of OCT and IVUS, while image-derived physiology may help assess non-culprit lesions. However, better diagnostic accuracy does not necessarily translate into better revascularization decisions. AI-based models can also estimate post-ACS ischemic, bleeding, and mortality risk, although evidence that their use improves treatment or outcomes remains limited. The next priority is prospective evaluation of whether these tools improve decisions, workflow, and patient outcomes across diverse clinical settings.
