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

We aim to investigate the feasibility and evaluate the performance of a ResNet-50 convolutional neural network (CNN) based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in predicting primary tumor sites in spinal metastases. Conventional sequences (T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and fat-suppressed T2-weighted sequences) MRIs of spinal metastases patients confirmed by pathology from August 2006 to August 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were partitioned into non-overlapping sets of 90% for training and 10% for testing. A deep learning model using ResNet-50 CNN was trained to classify primary tumor sites. Top-1 accuracy, precision, sensitivity, area under the curve for the receiver-operating characteristic (AUC-ROC), and F1 score were considered as the evaluation metrics. A total of 295 spinal metastases patients (mean age ± standard deviation, 59.9 years ± 10.9; 154 men) were evaluated. Included metastases originated from lung cancer (
