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

backgroundH3K27M mutation status significantly affects the prognosis of patients with diffuse midline gliomas (DMGs), but this tumor presents a high risk of pathological acquisition. We aimed to construct a fully automated model for predicting the H3K27M alteration status of DMGs based on deep learning using whole-brain MRI.

methodsDMG patients from West China Hospital of Sichuan University (WCHSU; n = 200) and Chengdu Shangjin Nanfu Hospital (CSNH; n = 35) who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria from February 2016 to April 2022 were enrolled as the training and external test sets, respectively. To adapt the model to the human head MRI scene, we use normal human head MR images to pretrain the model. The classification and tumor segmentation tasks are naturally related, so we conducted cotraining for the two tasks to enable information interaction between them and improve the accuracy of the classification task.

resultsThe average classification accuracies of our model on the training and external test sets was 90.5% and 85.1%, respectively. Ablation experiments showed that pretraining and cotraining could improve the prediction accuracy and generalization performance of the model. In the training and external test sets, the average areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROCs) were 94.18% and 87.64%, and the average areas under the precision-recall curve (AUPRC) were 93.26% and 85.4%.

conclusionsThe developed model achieved excellent performance in predicting the H3K27M alteration status in DMGs, and its good reproducibility and generalization were verified in the external dataset.
