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

This study aimed to develop a deep learning-based model to simultaneously perform the objective response (OR) and tumor segmentation for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients who underwent transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) treatment. A total of 248 patients from two hospitals were retrospectively included and divided into the training, internal validation, and external testing cohort. A network consisting of an encoder pathway, a prediction pathway, and a segmentation pathway was developed, and named multi-DL (multi-task deep learning), using contrast-enhanced CT images as input. We compared multi-DL with other deep learning-based OR prediction and tumor segmentation methods to explore the incremental value of introducing the interconnected task into a unified network. Additionally, the clinical model was developed using multivariate logistic regression to predict OR. Results showed that multi-DL could achieve the highest AUC of 0.871 in OR prediction and the highest dice coefficient of 73.6% in tumor segmentation. Furthermore, multi-DL can successfully perform the risk stratification that the low-risk and high-risk patients showed a significant difference in survival (
