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 aim of this study is to incorporate polarized hyperspectral imaging (PHSI) with machine learning for automatic detection of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) on hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stained tissue slides. A polarized hyperspectral imaging microscope had been developed in our group. In this paper, we imaged 20 H&E stained tissue slides from 10 patients with SCC of the larynx by the PHSI microscope. Several machine learning algorithms, including support vector machine (SVM), random forest, Gaussian naive Bayes, and logistic regression, were applied to the collected image data for the automatic detection of SCC on the H&E stained tissue slides. The performance of these methods was compared among the collected PHSI data, the pseudo-RGB images generated from the PHSI data, and the PHSI data after applying the principal component analysis (PCA) transformation. The results suggest that SVM is a superior classifier for the classification task based on the PHSI data cubes compared to the other three classifiers. The incorporate of four Stokes vector parameters improved the classification accuracy. Finally, the PCA transformed image data did not improve the accuracy as it might lose some important information from the original PHSI data. The preliminary results show that polarized hyperspectral imaging can have many potential applications in digital pathology.
