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

backgroundIdentifying genetic mutations in cancer patients have been increasingly important because distinctive mutational patterns can be very informative to determine the optimal therapeutic strategy. Recent studies have shown that deep learning-based molecular cancer subtyping can be performed directly from the standard hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) sections in diverse tumors including colorectal cancers (CRCs). Since H&E-stained tissue slides are ubiquitously available, mutation prediction with the pathology images from cancers can be a time- and cost-effective complementary method for personalized treatment.

aimTo predict the frequently occurring actionable mutations from the H&E-stained CRC whole-slide images (WSIs) with deep learning-based classifiers.

methodsA total of 629 CRC patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA-COAD and TCGA-READ) and 142 CRC patients from Seoul St. Mary Hospital (SMH) were included. Based on the mutation frequency in TCGA and SMH datasets, we chose

resultsThe AUCs for ROC curves ranged from 0.693 to 0.809 for the TCGA frozen WSIs and from 0.645 to 0.783 for the TCGA formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded WSIs. The prediction performance can be enhanced with the expansion of datasets. When the classifiers were trained with both TCGA and SMH data, the prediction performance was improved.
