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

In this study, we aimed to develop a novel prognostic algorithm for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) using a combination of pathogenomics and AI-based techniques. We collected comprehensive clinical, genomic, and pathology data from a cohort of OSCC patients in the TCGA dataset and used machine learning and deep learning algorithms to identify relevant features that are predictive of survival outcomes. Our analyses included 406 OSCC patients. Initial analyses involved gene expression analyses, principal component analyses, gene enrichment analyses, and feature importance analyses. These insights were foundational for subsequent model development. Furthermore, we applied five machine learning/deep learning algorithms (Random Survival Forest, Gradient Boosting Survival Analysis, Cox PH, Fast Survival SVM, and DeepSurv) for survival prediction. Our initial analyses revealed relevant gene expression variations and biological pathways, laying the groundwork for robust feature selection in model building. The results showed that the multimodal model outperformed the unimodal models across all methods, with c-index values of 0.722 for RSF, 0.633 for GBSA, 0.625 for FastSVM, 0.633 for CoxPH, and 0.515 for DeepSurv. When considering only important features, the multimodal model continued to outperform the unimodal models, with c-index values of 0.834 for RSF, 0.747 for GBSA, 0.718 for FastSVM, 0.742 for CoxPH, and 0.635 for DeepSurv. Our results demonstrate the potential of pathogenomics and AI-based techniques in improving the accuracy of prognostic prediction in OSCC, which may ultimately aid in the development of personalized treatment strategies for patients with this devastating disease.
