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

Computational analysis of histopathological specimens holds promise in identifying biomarkers, elucidating disease mechanisms, and streamlining clinical diagnosis. However, the application of deep learning techniques in vascular pathology remains underexplored. Here, we present a comprehensive evaluation of deep learning-based approaches to analyze digital whole-slide images of abdominal aortic aneurysm samples from 369 patients from three European centers. Deep learning demonstrated robust performance in predicting inflammatory characteristics, particularly in the adventitia, as well as fibrosis grade and remaining elastic fibers in the tunica media. Overall, this study represents the first comprehensive evaluation of computational pathology in vascular disease and has the potential to contribute to improved understanding of abdominal aortic aneurysm pathophysiology and personalization of treatment strategies, particularly when integrated with radiological phenotypes and clinical outcomes.
