A Deep Learning AI Model for Histopathological Diagnosis and Grading of Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma of Salivary Glands (Diagnostic Accuracy Study).

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.
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
purposeThis study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of deep learning AI model in the diagnosis and grading of mucoepidermoid carcinoma.
methodsWe developed a multiple instance learning based-deep learning model which consisted of two modules. One to perform slide-level classification of whole slide images into mucoepidermoid carcinoma and non-mucoepidermoid carcinoma classes and the second one to perform grading into low, intermediate, and high grades. A total of 194 whole slide images were included in the study. Of these, 92 corresponded to mucoepidermoid carcinoma, while the remaining 102 represented non-mucoepidermoid carcinoma cases.
resultsOur results showed that the classification model achieved 90.62% accuracy, 90.62% macro F1 score, 90.60% weighted F1 score, 91.67% macro precision, 91.18% macro recall. The grading model achieved an accuracy of 73.3%, weighted F1-score of 73.9%, weighted precision of 76.1% and weighted recall of 73.3%.
conclusionThe proposed deep learning classification model achieved promising performance in differentiating mucoepidermoid carcinoma cases. However, the grading model achieved an overall accuracy of 73.3%. Thus, depending on AI solely is still questionable, however it can be used to augment the work of the pathologist.
