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

Heart transplant rejection is one major threat for the survival of patients with a heart transplant. Endomyocardial biopsies are effective in showing signs of heart transplant rejection even before patients have any symptoms. Manually examining the tissue samples is costly, time-consuming and error-prone. With recent advances in deep learning (DL) based image processing methods, automatic training and prediction on heart transplant rejection using whole-slide images expect to be promising. This paper develops an advanced pipeline for quality control, feature extraction, clustering and classification. We first implement a stacked convolutional autoencoder to extract feature maps for each tile; we then incorporate multiple instance learning (MIL) with dimensionality reduction and unsupervised clustering prior to classification. Our results show that utilizing unsupervised clustering after feature extraction can achieve higher classification results while preserving the capability for multi-class classification.
