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

Atrial fibrillation (AF), a cardiac arrhythmia characterized by an abnormal and rapid heartbeat, has the potential to develop into stroke, heart failure, and, ultimately, mortality. The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a pivotal tool in the diagnosis of AF, offering a quick, cost-effective, and non-invasive mean to record the heart's electrical activity. Recent studies are increasingly engaged in the implementation of deep learning techniques for ECG feature extraction for AF prediction. In addition, the application of Mendelian randomization (MR) methodologies has been investigated to identify causal associations between genetically imputed pre-defined ECG characteristics and cardiovascular diseases, such as AF. DeepFEIVR, a non-linear extension of the classical instrumental variable (IV) regression model, was designed with the objective of extracting disease-associated causal features from high-dimensional data, such as neuroimaging data. In this article, we applied DeepFEIVR as well as its variant (with residual inclusion), DeepFEIVR-RI, to the large UK Biobank dataset. The application of DeepFEIVR and DeepFEIVR-RI showed that the genetic components in ECGs could contribute to the development of AF statistically significantly (
