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

Application of deep learning methods to transcriptomic data has the potential to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of tissue classification and cell state identification. Herein, we developed a multitask deep learning model for tissue classification combining publicly available whole transcriptomic (RNA-seq) datasets of non-neoplastic, neoplastic and peri-neoplastic tissue to classify disease state, tissue origin and neoplastic subclass. RNA-seq data from a total of 10,116 patient samples processed through a common pipeline were used for model training and validation. The model achieved 99% accuracy for disease state classification (ROC-AUC of 0.98) and 97% accuracy for tissue origin (ROC-AUC of 0.99). Moreover, the model achieved an accuracy of 92% (ROC-AUC 0.95) for neoplastic subclassification. This is the first multitask deep learning algorithm developed for tissue classification employing a uniform pipeline analysis of transcriptomic data with multiple tissue classifiers. This model serves as a framework for incorporating large transcriptomic datasets across conditions to facilitate clinical diagnosis and cell-based treatment strategies.
