Generating post-hoc explanation from deep neural networks for multi-modal medical image analysis tasks.
Article in MethodsX, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
Explaining model decisions from medical image inputs is necessary for deploying deep neural network (DNN) based models as clinical decision assistants. The acquisition of multi-modal medical images is pervasive in practice for supporting the clinical decision-making process. Multi-modal images capture different aspects of the same underlying regions of interest. Explaining DNN decisions on multi-modal medical images is thus a clinically important problem. Our methods adopt commonly-used post-hoc artificial intelligence feature attribution methods to explain DNN decisions on multi-modal medical images, including two categories of gradient- and perturbation-based methods. • Gradient-based explanation methods - such as Guided BackProp, DeepLift - utilize the gradient signal to estimate the feature importance for model prediction. • Perturbation-based methods - such as occlusion, LIME, kernel SHAP - utilize the input-output sampling pairs to estimate the feature importance. • We describe the implementation details on how to make the methods work for multi-modal image input, and make the implementation code available.
