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

Numerous cancer histopathology specimens have been collected and digitized over the past few decades. A comprehensive evaluation of the distribution of various cells in tumor tissue sections can provide valuable information for understanding cancer. Deep learning is suitable for achieving these goals; however, the collection of extensive, unbiased training data is hindered, thus limiting the production of accurate segmentation models. This study presents SegPath-the largest annotation dataset (>10 times larger than publicly available annotations)-for the segmentation of hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained sections for eight major cell types in cancer tissue. The SegPath generating pipeline used H&E-stained sections that were destained and subsequently immunofluorescence-stained with carefully selected antibodies. We found that SegPath is comparable with, or outperforms, pathologist annotations. Moreover, annotations by pathologists are biased toward typical morphologies. However, the model trained on SegPath can overcome this limitation. Our results provide foundational datasets for machine-learning research in histopathology.
