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

Selecting regions of interest (ROI) is a common step in medical image analysis across all imaging modalities. An ROI is a subset of an image appropriate for the intended analysis and identified manually by experts. In modern pathology, the analysis involves processing multidimensional and high resolution whole slide image (WSI) tiles automatically with an overwhelming quantity of structural and functional information. Despite recent improvements in computing capacity, analyzing such a plethora of data is challenging but vital to accurate analysis. Automatic ROI detection can significantly reduce the number of pixels to be processed, speed the analysis, improve accuracy and reduce dependency on pathologists. In this paper, we present an ROI detection method for WSI and demonstrated it for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) grading for breast cancer patients. Existing HER2 grading relies on manual ROI selection, which is tedious, time-consuming and suffers from inter-observer and intra-observer variability. This study found that the HER2 grade changes with ROI selection. We proposed an ROI detection method using Vision Transformer and investigated the role of image magnification for ROI detection. This method yielded an accuracy of 99% using 20 × WSI and 97% using 10 × WSI for the ROI detection. In the demonstration, the proposed method increased the diagnostic agreement to 99.3% with the clinical scores and reduced the time to 15 seconds for automated HER2 grading.
