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

purposeAccurately detecting Acute bilirubin encephalopathy (ABE) from non-ABE neonates with hyperbilirubinemia (HB) condition remains a challenge in clinical practice. In this study, an automatic ABE diagnosing system based on multi-modal MRI images and non-image clinical metadata is proposed to address the issue.

methodsA total of 75 ABE neonates and 75 non-ABE neonates with HB are included in the study. Each patient has 3 multi-modal magnetic resonance images and 8 non-image clinical features. To investigate the diagnosing model's performance, 3 different feature sets, namely deep features from multi-modal MRI images, non-image clinical features, and fusion features, are extracted, respectively, and then further classified by a support vector machine (SVM), respectively.

resultsThe results indicated the SVM classifier built on the fusion features achieved the best classification performance with an accuracy of 93.24 ± 2.35, specificity of 91.38 ± 4.45%, sensitivity of 95.11 ± 2.97%, precision of 91.87 ± 3.88%, area-under-the-curve (AUC) of 98.08 ± 1.16%, F1_score of 93.38 ± 2.23%. The performance of the SVM classifier built on the deep features was better than that built on the non-image clinical features.

conclusionOur study demonstrated that ABE diagnostic performance based on deep features from multi-modal MRI images could be significantly improved by incorporating clinical features. The proposed strategy may potentially be applicable to clinical practice to facilitate clinical management.
