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 determine whether a deep-learning-based assessment system could facilitate preoperative grading of meningioma. This was a retrospective study conducted at two institutions covering 643 patients. The system, designed with a cascade network structure, was developed using deep-learning technology for automatic tumor detection, visual assessment, and grading prediction. Specifically, a modified U-Net convolutional neural network was first established to segment tumor images. Subsequently, the segmentations were introduced into rendering algorithms for spatial reconstruction and another DenseNet convolutional neural network for grading prediction. The trained models were integrated as a system, and the robustness was tested based on its performance on an external dataset from the second institution involving different magnetic resonance imaging platforms. The results showed that the segment model represented a noteworthy performance with dice coefficients of 0.920 ± 0.009 in the validation group. With accurate segmented tumor images, the rendering model delicately reconstructed the tumor body and clearly displayed the important intracranial vessels. The DenseNet model also achieved high accuracy with an area under the curve of 0.918 ± 0.006 and accuracy of 0.901 ± 0.039 when classifying tumors into low-grade and high-grade meningiomas. Moreover, the system exhibited good performance on the external validation dataset.
