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

The rising incidence of head and neck cancer represents a serious global health challenge, requiring more accurate diagnosis and innovative surgical approaches. Multimodal nonlinear optical microscopy, combining coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS), two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF), and second-harmonic generation (SHG) with deep learning-based analysis routines, offers label-free assessment of the tissue's morphochemical composition and allows early-stage and automatic detection of disease. For clinical intraoperative application, compact devices are required. In this preclinical study, a cohort of 15 patients was examined with a newly developed rigid CARS/TPEF/SHG endomicroscope. To detect head and neck tumor from the multimodal data, deep learning-based semantic segmentation models were used. This preclinical study yields in a diagnostic sensitivity of 88% and a specificity of 96%. To combine diagnostics with therapy, machine learning-inspired image-guided selective tissue removal was used by integrating femtosecond laser ablation into the endomicroscope. This enables a powerful approach of intraoperative "seek and treat," paving the way to advanced surgical treatment.
