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

backgroundGrading of meningiomas is important in the choice of the most effective treatment for each patient. PURPOSE: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) in the differentiation of the histopathological grading of meningiomas from MR images. STUDY TYPE: Retrospective. POPULATION: In all, 117 meningioma-affected patients, 79 World Health Organization [WHO] Grade I, 32 WHO Grade II, and 6 WHO Grade III. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE: 1.5 T, 3.0 T postcontrast enhanced T ASSESSMENT: WHO Grade II and WHO Grade III meningiomas were considered a single category. The diagnostic accuracy of the pretrained Inception-V3 and AlexNet DCNNs was tested on ADC maps and PCT STATISTICAL TEST: Leave-one-out cross-validation.

resultsThe application of the Inception-V3 DCNN on ADC maps provided the best diagnostic accuracy results, with an AUC of 0.94 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.88-0.98). Remarkably, only 1/38 WHO Grade II-III and 7/79 WHO Grade I lesions were misclassified by this model. The application of AlexNet on ADC maps had a low discriminating accuracy, with an AUC of 0.68 (95% CI, 0.59-0.76) and a high misclassification rate on both WHO Grade I and WHO Grade II-III cases. The discriminating accuracy of both DCNNs on postcontrast T DATA

conclusionDCNNs can accurately discriminate between benign and atypical/anaplastic meningiomas from ADC maps but not from PCT LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 2 Technical Efficacy: Stage 2 J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2019;50:1152-1159.
