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

In esophageal cancer, few prediction tools can be confidently used in current clinical practice. We developed a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) with 798 positron emission tomography (PET) scans of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and 309 PET scans of stage I lung cancer. In the first stage, we pretrained a 3D-CNN with all PET scans for a task to classify the scans into esophageal cancer or lung cancer. Overall, 548 of 798 PET scans of esophageal cancer patients were included in the second stage with an aim to classify patients who expired within or survived more than one year after diagnosis. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to evaluate model performance. In the pretrain model, the deep CNN attained an AUC of 0.738 in identifying patients who expired within one year after diagnosis. In the survival analysis, patients who were predicted to be expired but were alive at one year after diagnosis had a 5-year survival rate of 32.6%, which was significantly worse than the 5-year survival rate of the patients who were predicted to survive and were alive at one year after diagnosis (50.5%,
