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

backgroundBreast cancer (BC) is a prevalent and highly lethal malignancy affecting women worldwide. Immunotherapy has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for BC, offering potential improvements in patient survival. Neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) has also gained significant clinical traction. With the advancement of computer technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been increasingly applied in pathology research, expanding and redefining the scope of the field. This narrative review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current literature on the application of computational pathology in BC, specifically focusing on diagnosis, immune microenvironment recognition, and the evaluation of immunotherapy and NAT response.

methodsA thorough examination of relevant literature was conducted, focusing on studies investigating the role of computational pathology in BC diagnosis, immune microenvironment recognition, and immunotherapy and NAT assessment.

resultsThe application of computational pathology has shown significant potential in BC management. AI-based techniques enable improved diagnosis and classification of BC subtypes, enhance the identification and characterization of the immune microenvironment, and facilitate the evaluation of immunotherapy and NAT response. However, challenges related to data quality, standardization, and algorithm development still need to be addressed.

conclusionThe integration of computational pathology and AI has transformative implications for BC patient care. By leveraging AI-based technologies, clinicians can make more informed decisions in diagnosis, treatment planning, and therapeutic response assessment. Future research should focus on refining AI algorithms, addressing technical challenges, and conducting large-scale clinical validation studies to facilitate the translation of computational pathology into routine clinical practice for BC patients.
