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

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy assessment is imperative for prognostication and clinical management of locally advanced gastric cancer. We propose an incremental supervised contrastive learning model (iSCLM), an interpretable artificial intelligence framework integrating pretreatment CT scans and H&E-stained biopsy images, for improved decision-making regarding neoadjuvant chemotherapy. We have constructed and tested iSCLM using retrospective data from 2,387 patients across 10 medical centers and evaluated its discriminative ability in a prospective cohort (132 patients; ChiCTR2300068917). iSCLM achieves areas under receiver operating characteristic curves of 0.846-0.876 across different test cohorts. Computed tomography (CT) and pathological attention heatmaps from Shapley additive explanations and global sort pooling illustrate additional benefits for capturing morphological features through supervised contrastive learning. Specifically, pathological top-ranked tiles exhibit decreased distances to tumor-invasive borders and increased inflammatory cell infiltration in responders compared with non-responders. Moreover, CD11c expression is elevated in responders. The developed interpretable model at the molecular pathology level accurately predicts chemotherapy efficacy.
