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

Introduction: The methylation status of oxygen 6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is closely related to the treatment and prognosis of glioblastoma. However, there are currently some challenges in detecting the methylation status of MGMT promoters. The hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained histopathological slides have always been the gold standard for tumor diagnosis. Methods: In this study, based on the TCGA database and H&E-stained Whole slide images (WSI) of Beijing Tiantan Hospital, we constructed a weakly supervised prediction model of MGMT promoter methylation status in glioblastoma by using two Transformer structure models. Results: The accuracy scores of this model in the TCGA dataset and our independent dataset were 0.79 (AUC = 0.86) and 0.76 (AUC = 0.83), respectively. Conclusion: The model demonstrates effective prediction of MGMT promoter methylation status in glioblastoma and exhibits some degree of generalization capability. At the same time, our study also shows that adding Patches automatic screening module to the computational pathology research framework of glioma can significantly improve the model effect.
