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

Histopathological examination of tissue sections is the gold standard for disease diagnosis. However, the conventional histopathology workflow requires lengthy and laborious sample preparation to obtain thin tissue slices, causing about a one-week delay to generate an accurate diagnostic report. Recently, microscopy with ultraviolet surface excitation (MUSE), a rapid and slide-free imaging technique, has been developed to image fresh and thick tissues with specific molecular contrast. Here, we propose to apply an unsupervised generative adversarial network framework to translate colorful MUSE images into Deep-MUSE images that highly resemble hematoxylin and eosin staining, allowing easy adaptation by pathologists. By eliminating the needs of all sample processing steps (except staining), a MUSE image with subcellular resolution for a typical brain biopsy (5 mm × 5 mm) can be acquired in 5 minutes, which is further translated into a Deep-MUSE image in 40 seconds, simplifying the standard histopathology workflow dramatically and providing histological images intraoperatively.
