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

Assessment of the estrous cycle of mature female mammals is an important component of verifying the efficacy and safety of drug candidates. The common pathological approach of relying on expert observation has several drawbacks, including laborious work and inter-viewer variability. The recent advent of image recognition technologies using deep learning is expected to bring substantial benefits to such pathological assessments. We herein propose 2 distinct deep learning-based workflows to classify the estrous cycle stage from tissue images of the uterine horn and vagina, respectively. These constructed models were able to classify the estrous cycle stages with accuracy comparable with that of expert pathologists. Our digital workflows allow efficient pathological assessments of the estrous cycle stage in rats and are thus expected to accelerate drug research and development.
