Automated detection of epicardial adipose tissue in cardiac CT using ensemble machine learning for improved diagnosis.
Article in MethodsX, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Cardiovascular diseases remain a major global health concern, with epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) serving as a critical indicator for assessing cardiovascular risk. Performing manual delineation of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) on cardiac CT scans is a labour-intensive process and can be susceptible to inaccuracies. This study presents an automated machine learning-based approach to improve the accuracy and efficiency of EAT segmentation. A dataset of 878 cardiac CT images from 20 patients is used. Pre-processing involved contrast enhancement and feature extraction using the Grey-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM). An ensemble machine learning model combining Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is developed for segmentation. The model's performance was evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, Dice score, and classification time. The key highlights of the proposed method are:•
