Deep-Learning-Based Hepatic Ploidy Quantification Using H&E Histopathology Images.
Article in Genes, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Polyploidy, the duplication of the entire genome within a single cell, is a significant characteristic of cells in many tissues, including the liver. The quantification of hepatic ploidy typically relies on flow cytometry and immunofluorescence (IF) imaging, which are not widely available in clinical settings due to high financial and time costs. To improve accessibility for clinical samples, we developed a computational algorithm to quantify hepatic ploidy using hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) histopathology images, which are commonly obtained during routine clinical practice. Our algorithm uses a deep learning model to first segment and classify different types of cell nuclei in H&E images. It then determines cellular ploidy based on the relative distance between identified hepatocyte nuclei and determines nuclear ploidy using a fitted Gaussian mixture model. The algorithm can establish the total number of hepatocytes and their detailed ploidy information in a region of interest (ROI) on H&E images. This is the first successful attempt to automate ploidy analysis on H&E images. Our algorithm is expected to serve as an important tool for studying the role of polyploidy in human liver disease.
