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

The HER2-IHC-40x and HER2-IHC-40x-WSI datasets are high-resolution whole slide image (WSI) and patch-extracted region collection for HER2 immunohistochemistry (IHC) scoring in breast cancer pathology. 107 WSIs are scanned at 40 × magnification with Regions of Interest (ROIs) annotated by expert pathologists. Patches of 1024 × 1024 pixels are extracted from the ROIs and classified into four HER2 scores (0, 1+, 2+, 3+), yielding structured data for computational pathology analysis. There were two strategies of splitting: WSI-based split, where data was first split before extracting the patches and named as HER2-IHC-40x for this dataset, the other one is patch-based split, where patches were extracted first and then split, named as HER2-IHC-40x-WSI of this dataset. The filtering method for color histograms was applied to remove the non-tumour regions and artifacts, generating high-quality data. The dataset is applicable to deep learning applications, including HER2 classification and explainable AI. It is freely available on Zenodo, with preprocessing scripts provided via GitHub, enabling reproducibility in digital pathology research.
