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 purpose of this study was to develop a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for automatic classification of histopathological images of lung tissues. Two datasets (private and public datasets) were obtained and used for developing and validating CAD. The private dataset consists of 94 histopathological images that were obtained for the following five categories: normal, emphysema, atypical adenomatous hyperplasia, lepidic pattern of adenocarcinoma, and invasive adenocarcinoma. The public dataset consists of 15,000 histopathological images that were obtained for the following three categories: lung adenocarcinoma, lung squamous cell carcinoma, and benign lung tissue. These images were automatically classified using machine learning and two types of image feature extraction: conventional texture analysis (TA) and homology-based image processing (HI). Multiscale analysis was used in the image feature extraction, after which automatic classification was performed using the image features and eight machine learning algorithms. The multicategory accuracy of our CAD system was evaluated in the two datasets. In both the public and private datasets, the CAD system with HI was better than that with TA. It was possible to build an accurate CAD system for lung tissues. HI was more useful for the CAD systems than TA.
