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

backgroundEx vivo fluorescent confocal microscopy (FCM) is a novel and effective method for a fast-automatized histological tissue examination. In contrast, conventional diagnostic methods are primarily based on the skills of the histopathologist. In this study, we investigated the potential of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for automatized classification of oral squamous cell carcinoma via ex vivo FCM imaging for the first time. MATERIAL AND

methodsTissue samples from 20 patients were collected, scanned with an ex vivo confocal microscope immediately after resection, and investigated histopathologically. A CNN architecture (MobileNet) was trained and tested for accuracy.

resultsThe model achieved a sensitivity of 0.47 and specificity of 0.96 in the automated classification of cancerous tissue in our study.

conclusionIn this preliminary work, we trained a CNN model on a limited number of ex vivo FCM images and obtained promising results in the automated classification of cancerous tissue. Further studies using large sample sizes are warranted to introduce this technology into clinics.
