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

purposeThe expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) in breast cancer is critical in the treatment with targeted therapy. A 3-block-DenseNet-based deep learning model was developed to predict the expression of HER2 in breast cancer by ultrasound images.

methodsThe data from 144 breast cancer patients with preoperative ultrasound images and clinical information were retrospectively collected from the Shandong Province Tumor Hospital. An end-to-end 3-block-DenseNet deep learning classifier was built to predict the expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 by ultrasound images. The patients were randomly divided into a training (n = 108) and a validation set (n = 36).

resultsOur proposed deep learning model achieved an encouraging predictive performance in the training set (accuracy = 85.79%, AUC = 0.87) and the validation set (accuracy = 80.56%, AUC = 0.84). The effectiveness of our model significantly exceeded the clinical model and the radiomics model. The score of the proposed model showed significant differences between HER2-positive and -negative expression (

conclusionsThese results demonstrate that ultrasound images are predictive of HER2 expression through a deep learning classifier. Our method provides a non-invasive, simple, and feasible method for the prediction of HER2 expression without the manual delineation of the regions of interest (ROI). The performance of our deep learning model significantly exceeded the traditional texture analysis based on the radiomics model.
