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

backgroundPrompt histopathological diagnosis with accuracy is required for soft tissue sarcomas (STSs) which are still challenging. In addition, the advances in artificial intelligence (AI) along with the development of pathology slides digitization may empower the demand for the prediction of behavior of STSs. In this article, we explored the application of deep learning for prediction of prognosis from histopathological images in patients with STS.

methodsOur retrospective study included a total of 35 histopathological slides from patients with STS. We trained Inception v3 which is proposed method of convolutional neural network based survivability estimation. F1 score which identify the accuracy and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) served as main outcome measures from a 4-fold validation.

resultsThe cohort included 35 patients with a mean age of 64 years, and the mean follow-up period was 34 months (2-66 months). Our deep learning method achieved AUC of 0.974 and an accuracy of 91.9% in predicting overall survival. Concerning with the prediction of metastasis-free survival, the accuracy was 84.2% with the AUC of 0.852.

conclusionAI might be used to help pathologists with accurate prognosis prediction. This study could substantially improve the clinical management of patients with STS.
