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

The human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) gene amplification status is a crucial marker for evaluating clinical therapies of breast or gastric cancer. We propose a deep learning-based pipeline for the detection, localization and classification of interphase nuclei depending on their HER2 gene amplification state in Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) images. Our pipeline combines two RetinaNet-based object localization networks which are trained (1) to detect and classify interphase nuclei into distinct classes normal, low-grade and high-grade and (2) to detect and classify FISH signals into distinct classes HER2 or centromere of chromosome 17 (CEN17). By independently classifying each nucleus twice, the two-step pipeline provides both robustness and interpretability for the automated detection of the HER2 amplification status. The accuracy of our deep learning-based pipeline is on par with that of three pathologists and a set of 57 validation images containing several hundreds of nuclei are accurately classified. The automatic pipeline is a first step towards assisting pathologists in evaluating the HER2 status of tumors using FISH images, for analyzing FISH images in retrospective studies, and for optimizing the documentation of each tumor sample by automatically annotating and reporting of the HER2 gene amplification specificities.
