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

Digital pathology technologies, including whole slide imaging (WSI), have significantly improved modern clinical practices by facilitating storing, viewing, processing, and sharing digital scans of tissue glass slides. Researchers have proposed various artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for digital pathology applications, such as automated image analysis, to extract diagnostic information from WSI for improving pathology productivity, accuracy, and reproducibility. Feature extraction methods play a crucial role in transforming raw image data into meaningful representations for analysis, facilitating the characterization of tissue structures, cellular properties, and pathological patterns. These features have diverse applications in several digital pathology applications, such as cancer prognosis and diagnosis. Deep learning-based feature extraction methods have emerged as a promising approach to accurately represent WSI contents and have demonstrated superior performance in histology-related tasks. In this survey, we provide a comprehensive overview of feature extraction methods, including both manual and deep learning-based techniques, for the analysis of WSIs. We review relevant literature, analyze the discriminative and geometric features of WSIs (i.e., features suited to support the diagnostic process and extracted by "engineered" methods as opposed to AI), and explore predictive modeling techniques using AI and deep learning. This survey examines the advances, challenges, and opportunities in this rapidly evolving field, emphasizing the potential for accurate diagnosis, prognosis, and decision-making in digital pathology.
