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

Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) gene amplification helps identify breast cancer patients who may respond to targeted anti-HER2 therapy. This study aims to develop an automated method for quantifying HER2 fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) signals and improve the working efficiency of pathologists. An Aitrox artificial intelligence (AI) model based on deep learning was constructed, and a comparison between the AI model and traditional manual counting was performed. In total, 918 FISH images from 320 consecutive invasive breast cancers were analysed and automatically classified into 5 groups according to the 2018 ASCO/CAP guidelines. The overall classification accuracy was 85.33% (157/184) with a mean average precision of 0.735. In Group 5, the most common group, the consistency was as high as 95.90% (117/122), while the consistency was low in the other groups due to the limited number of cases. The causes of this inconsistency, including clustered HER2 signals, coarse CEP17 signals and some section quality problems, were analysed. The developed AI model is a reliable tool for evaluating HER2 amplification statuses, especially for breast cancer in Group 5; additional cases from multiple centres could further improve the accuracy achieved for other groups.
