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

Breast cancer is one of the common malignant tumors in women. It seriously endangers women's life and health. The human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) protein is responsible for the division and growth of healthy breast cells. The overexpression of the HER2 protein is generally evaluated by immunohistochemistry (IHC). The IHC evaluation criteria mainly includes three indexes: staining intensity, circumferential membrane staining pattern, and proportion of positive cells. Manually scoring HER2 IHC images is an error-prone, variable, and time-consuming work. To solve these problems, this study proposes an automated predictive method for scoring whole-slide images (WSI) of HER2 slides based on a deep learning network. A total of 95 HER2 pathological slides from September 2021 to December 2021 were included. The average patch level precision and f1 score were 95.77% and 83.09%, respectively. The overall accuracy of automated scoring for slide-level classification was 97.9%. The proposed method showed excellent specificity for all IHC 0 and 3+ slides and most 1+ and 2+ slides. The evaluation effect of the integrated method is better than the effect of using the staining result only.
