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

backgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) is a malignant tumor within the digestive tract with both a high incidence rate and mortality. Early detection and intervention could improve patient clinical outcomes and survival.

methodsThis study computationally investigates a set of prognostic tissue and cell features from diagnostic tissue slides. With the combination of clinical prognostic variables, the pathological image features could predict the prognosis in CRC patients. Our CRC prognosis prediction pipeline sequentially consisted of three modules: (1) A MultiTissue Net to delineate outlines of different tissue types within the WSI of CRC for further ROI selection by pathologists. (2) Development of three-level quantitative image metrics related to tissue compositions, cell shape, and hidden features from a deep network. (3) Fusion of multi-level features to build a prognostic CRC model for predicting survival for CRC.

resultsExperimental results suggest that each group of features has a particular relationship with the prognosis of patients in the independent test set. In the fusion features combination experiment, the accuracy rate of predicting patients' prognosis and survival status is 81.52%, and the AUC value is 0.77.

conclusionThis paper constructs a model that can predict the postoperative survival of patients by using image features and clinical information. Some features were found to be associated with the prognosis and survival of patients.
