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 proposed a bimodal artificial intelligence that integrates patient information with images to diagnose spinal cord tumors. Our model combines TabNet, a state-of-the-art deep learning model for tabular data for patient information, and a convolutional neural network for images. As training data, we collected 259 spinal tumor patients (158 for schwannoma and 101 for meningioma). We compared the performance of the image-only unimodal model, table-only unimodal model, bimodal model using a gradient-boosting decision tree, and bimodal model using TabNet. Our proposed bimodal model using TabNet performed best (area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve [AUROC]: 0.91) in the training data and significantly outperformed the physicians' performance. In the external validation using 62 cases from the other two facilities, our bimodal model showed an AUROC of 0.92, proving the robustness of the model. The bimodal analysis using TabNet was effective for differentiating spinal tumors.
