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 aim of this study was to use texture analysis to establish quantitative CT-based imaging features to predict clinical severity in patients with acute alcohol-associated hepatitis (AAH). A secondary aim was to compare the performance of texture analysis to deep learning. In this study, mathematical texture features were extracted from CT slices of the liver for 34 patients with a diagnosis of AAH and 35 control patients. Recursive feature elimination using random forest (RFE-RF) was used to identify the best combination of features to distinguish AAH from controls. These features were subsequently used as predictors to determine associated clinical values. To compare machine learning with deep learning approaches, a 2D dense convolutional neural network (CNN) was implemented and trained for the classification task of AAH. RFE-RF identified 23 top features used to classify AAH images, and the subsequent model demonstrated an accuracy of 82.4% in the test set. The deep learning CNN demonstrated an accuracy of 70% in the test set. We show that texture features of the liver are unique in AAH and are candidate quantitative biomarkers that can be used in prospective studies to predict the severity and outcomes of patients with AAH.
