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

Background: Evaluation of tumor-tissue images stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) is pivotal in diagnosis, yet only a fraction of the rich phenotypic information is considered for clinical care. Here, we propose a survival deep learning (SDL) framework to extract this information to predict glioma survival. Methods: Digitized whole slide images were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) for 766 diffuse glioma patients, including isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutant/1p19q-codeleted oligodendroglioma, IDH-mutant/1p19q-intact astrocytoma, and IDH-wildtype astrocytoma/glioblastoma. Our SDL framework employs a residual convolutional neural network with a survival model to predict patient risk from H&E-stained whole-slide images. We used statistical sampling techniques and randomized the transformation of images to address challenges in learning from histology images. The SDL risk score was evaluated in traditional and recursive partitioning (RPA) survival models. Results: The SDL risk score demonstrated substantial univariate prognostic power (median concordance index of 0.79 [ Conclusions: The present study highlights the independent prognostic power of the SDL risk score for objective and accurate prediction of glioma outcomes. Further, we show that the RPA delineation of patient-specific risk scores and clinical prognostic factors can successfully demarcate the OS of glioma patients.
