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 differentiation of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) from Alzheimer's disease (AD) using brain perfusion single photon emission tomography is important but is challenging because these conditions exhibit typical features. The cingulate island sign (CIS) is the most recently identified specific feature of DLB for a differential diagnosis. The current study aimed to examine the usefulness of deep-learning-based imaging classification for the diagnoses of DLB and AD. Furthermore, we investigated whether CIS was emphasized by a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) during differentiation. Brain perfusion single photon emission tomography images from 80 patients, each with DLB and AD, and 80 individuals with normal cognition (NL) were used for training and 20 each for final testing. The CNN was trained on brain surface perfusion images. Gradient-weighted class activation mapping (Grad-CAM) was applied to the CNN to visualize the features that was emphasized by the trained CNN. The binary classifications between DLB and NL, DLB and AD, and AD and NL were 93.1%, 89.3%, and 92.4% accurate, respectively. The CIS ratios closely correlated with the output scores before softmax for DLB-AD discrimination (DLB/AD scores). The Grad-CAM highlighted CIS in the DLB discrimination. Visualization of learning process by guided Grad-CAM revealed that CIS became more focused by the CNN as the training progressed. The DLB/AD score was significantly associated with the three core features of DLB. Deep-learning-based imaging classification was useful for an objective and accurate differentiation of DLB from AD and for predicting clinical features of DLB. The CIS was identified as a specific feature during DLB classification. The visualization of specific features and learning processes could be critical in deep learning to discover new imaging features.
