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

Histomorphologic types of gastric cancer (GC) have significant prognostic values that should be considered during treatment planning. Because the thorough quantitative review of a tissue slide is a laborious task for pathologists, deep learning (DL) can be a useful tool to support pathologic workflow. In the present study, a fully automated approach was applied to distinguish differentiated/undifferentiated and non-mucinous/mucinous tumor types in GC tissue whole-slide images from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) stomach adenocarcinoma dataset (TCGA-STAD). By classifying small patches of tissue images into differentiated/undifferentiated and non-mucinous/mucinous tumor tissues, the relative proportion of GC tissue subtypes can be easily quantified. Furthermore, the distribution of different tissue subtypes can be clearly visualized. The patch-level areas under the curves for the receiver operating characteristic curves for the differentiated/undifferentiated and non-mucinous/mucinous classifiers were 0.932 and 0.979, respectively. We also validated the classifiers on our own GC datasets and confirmed that the generalizability of the classifiers is excellent. The results indicate that the DL-based tissue classifier could be a useful tool for the quantitative analysis of cancer tissue slides. By combining DL-based classifiers for various molecular and morphologic variations in tissue slides, the heterogeneity of tumor tissues can be unveiled more efficiently.
