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

Automatic identification of tissue structures in the analysis of digital tissue biopsies remains an ongoing problem in digital pathology. Common barriers include lack of reliable ground truth due to inter- and intra- reader variability, class imbalances, and inflexibility of discriminative models. To overcome these barriers, we are developing a framework that benefits from a reliable immunohistochemistry ground truth during labeling, overcomes class imbalances through single task learning, and accommodates any number of classes through a minimally supervised, modular model-per-class paradigm. This study explores an initial application of this framework, based on conditional generative adversarial networks, to automatically identify tumor from non-tumor regions in colorectal H&E slides. The average precision, sensitivity, and F1 score during validation was 95.13 ± 4.44%, 93.05 ± 3.46%, and 94.02 ± 3.23% and for an external test dataset was 98.75 ± 2.43%, 88.53 ± 5.39%, and 93.31 ± 3.07%, respectively. With accurate identification of tumor regions, we plan to further develop our framework to establish a tumor front, from which tumor buds can be detected in a restricted region. This model will be integrated into a larger system which will quantitatively determine the prognostic significance of tumor budding.
