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

objectiveTo design a deep learning model based on multimodal magnetic resonance image (MRI) sequences for automatic parotid neoplasm classification, and to improve the diagnostic decision-making in clinical settings.

methodsFirst, multimodal MRI sequences were collected from 266 patients with parotid neoplasms, and an artificial intelligence (AI)-based deep learning model was designed from scratch, combining the image classification network of Resnet and the Transformer network of Natural language processing. Second, the effectiveness of the deep learning model was improved through the multi-modality fusion of MRI sequences, and the fusion strategy of various MRI sequences was optimized. In addition, we compared the effectiveness of the model in the parotid neoplasm classification with experienced radiologists.

resultsThe deep learning model delivered reliable outcomes in differentiating benign and malignant parotid neoplasms. The model, which was trained by the fusion of T2-weighted, postcontrast T1-weighted, and diffusion-weighted imaging (b = 1000 s/mm

conclusionAn accurate and efficient AI based classification model was produced to classify parotid neoplasms, resulting from the fusion of multimodal MRI sequences. The effectiveness certainly outperformed the model with single MRI images or single MRI sequences as input, and potentially, experienced radiologists. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3 Laryngoscope, 133:327-335, 2023.
