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

Current image processing methods for dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) do not capture complex dynamic information of time-signal intensity curves. We investigated whether an autoencoder-based pattern analysis of DSC MRI captured representative temporal features that improves tissue characterization and tumor diagnosis in a multicenter setting. The autoencoder was applied to the time-signal intensity curves to obtain representative temporal patterns, which were subsequently learned by a convolutional neural network. This network was trained with 216 preoperative DSC MRI acquisitions and validated using external data (n = 43) collected with different DSC acquisition protocols. The autoencoder applied to time-signal intensity curves and clustering obtained nine representative clusters of temporal patterns, which accurately identified tumor and non-tumoral tissues. The dominant clusters of temporal patterns distinguished primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) from glioblastoma (AUC 0.89) and metastasis from glioblastoma (AUC 0.95). The autoencoder captured DSC time-signal intensity patterns that improved identification of tumoral tissues and differentiation of tumor type and was generalizable across centers.
