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

Colorectal neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) differ significantly from colorectal carcinoma (CRC) in terms of treatment strategy and prognosis, necessitating a cost-effective approach for accurate discrimination. Here, we propose an approach for distinguishing between colorectal NET and CRC based on pathological images by utilizing pathological prior information to facilitate the generation of robust slide-level features. By calculating the similarity between morphological descriptions and patches, our approach selects only 2% of the diagnostically relevant patches for both training and inference, achieving an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.9974 on the internal dataset, and AUROCs of 0.9724 and 0.9513 on two external datasets. Our model effectively identifies NETs from CRCs, reducing unnecessary immunohistochemical tests and enhancing the precise treatment for patients with colorectal tumors. Our approach also enables researchers to investigate methods with high accuracy and low computational complexity, thereby advancing the application of artificial intelligence in clinical settings.
