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

Introduction: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive and irreversible brain degenerative disorder early. Among all diagnostic strategies, hippocampal atrophy is considered a promising diagnostic method. In order to proactively detect patients with early Alzheimer's disease, we built an Alzheimer's segmentation and classification (AL-SCF) pipeline based on machine learning. Methods: In our study, we collected coronal T1 weighted images that include 187 patients with AD and 230 normal controls (NCs). Our pipeline began with the segmentation of the hippocampus by using a modified U2-net. Subsequently, we extracted 851 radiomics features and selected 37 features most relevant to AD by the Hierarchical clustering method and Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) algorithm. At last, four classifiers were implemented to distinguish AD from NCs, and the performance of the models was evaluated by accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, and area under the curve. Results: Our proposed pipeline showed excellent discriminative performance of classification with AD vs NC in the training set (AUC=0.97, 95% CI: (0.96-0.98)). The model was also verified in the validation set with Dice=0.93 for segmentation and accuracy=0.95 for classification. Discussion: The AL-SCF pipeline can automate the process from segmentation to classification, which may assist doctors with AD diagnosis and develop individualized medical plans for AD in clinical practice.
