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

Molecular and genomic properties are critical in selecting cancer treatments to target individual tumors, particularly for immunotherapy. However, the methods to assess such properties are expensive, time-consuming, and often not routinely performed. Applying machine learning to H&E images can provide a more cost-effective screening method. Dozens of studies over the last few years have demonstrated that a variety of molecular biomarkers can be predicted from H&E alone using the advancements of deep learning: molecular alterations, genomic subtypes, protein biomarkers, and even the presence of viruses. This article reviews the diverse applications across cancer types and the methodology to train and validate these models on whole slide images. From bottom-up to pathologist-driven to hybrid approaches, the leading trends include a variety of weakly supervised deep learning-based approaches, as well as mechanisms for training strongly supervised models in select situations. While results of these algorithms look promising, some challenges still persist, including small training sets, rigorous validation, and model explainability. Biomarker prediction models may yield a screening method to determine when to run molecular tests or an alternative when molecular tests are not possible. They also create new opportunities in quantifying intratumoral heterogeneity and predicting patient outcomes.
