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

Widespread use of endomysial autoantibody (EmA) test in diagnostics of celiac disease is limited due to its subjectivity and its requirement of an expert evaluator. The study aimed to determine whether machine learning can be applied to create a new observer-independent method of automatic assessment and classification of the EmA test for celiac disease. The study material comprised of 2597 high-quality IgA-class EmA images collected in 2017-2018. According to standard procedure, highly-experienced professional classified samples into the following four classes: I - positive, II - negative, III - IgA deficient, and IV - equivocal. Machine learning was deployed to create a classification model. The sensitivity and specificity of the model were 82.84% and 99.40%, respectively. The accuracy was 96.80%. The classification error was 3.20%. The area under the curve was 99.67%, 99.61%, 100%, and 99.89%, for I, II, III, and IV class, respectively. The mean assessment time per image was 16.11 seconds. This is the first study deploying machine learning for the automatic classification of IgA-class EmA test for celiac disease. The results indicate that using machine learning enables quick and precise EmA test analysis that can be further developed to simplify EmA analysis.
