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

backgroundNeonatal acute bilirubin encephalopathy (ABE) severely endangers the neonatal health. However, early clinical symptoms of ABE are nonspecific, often leading to missed diagnoses. The current study endeavors to establish a computer-assisted integrated model for clinical assessment and diagnosis of ABE.

methodsDiagnostic data from the ABE group and the hyperbilirubinemia without concurrent ABE (non-ABE) group were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into a pre-training cohort, a training cohort, and two test cohorts. The training cohort and test cohort 1 were used to train and test a deep learning (DL) model integrating multimodal, self-supervised, and multi-instance learning. Test cohort 2 was used to compare the DL model with the radiologists.

resultsA total of 1048 magnetic resonance images from 262 patients were analyzed. The accuracy of the DL model and the area under the curve were 86.3% and 91.2% and 91.1% and 89.3% in test cohorts 1 and 2, respectively.

conclusionsThis study integrated clinical and radiological data into DL models to accurately diagnose ABE, close to the proficiency level of senior radiologists. It provides a convenient, low-cost evaluation model for patient management decisions and physician diagnoses.
