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

Despite the crucial role of phenotypic and genetic intratumoral heterogeneity in understanding and predicting clinical outcomes for patients with cancer, computational pathology studies have yet to make substantial steps in this area. The major limiting factor has been the bulk gene-sequencing practice that results in loss of spatial information of gene status, making the study of intratumoral heterogeneity difficult. In this issue of Cancer Research, Acosta and colleagues used deep learning to study if localized gene mutation status can be predicted from localized tumor morphology for clear cell renal cell carcinoma. The algorithm was developed using curated sets of matched hematoxylin and eosin and IHC images, which represent spatially resolved morphology and genotype, respectively. This study confirms the existence of a strong link between morphology and underlying genetics on a regional level, paving the way for further investigations into intratumoral heterogeneity. See related article by Acosta et al., p. 2792.
