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 Oncotype DX® Recurrence Score (RS) is an assay for hormone receptor-positive early breast cancer with extensively validated predictive and prognostic value. However, its cost and lag time have limited global adoption, and previous attempts to estimate it using clinicopathologic variables have had limited success. To address this, we assembled 6172 cases across three institutions and developed Orpheus, a multimodal deep learning tool to infer the RS from H&E whole-slide images. Our model identifies TAILORx high-risk cases (RS > 25) with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.89, compared to a leading clinicopathologic nomogram with 0.73. Furthermore, in patients with RS ≤ 25, Orpheus ascertains risk of metastatic recurrence more accurately than the RS itself (0.75 vs 0.49 mean time-dependent AUC). These findings have the potential to guide adjuvant therapy for high-risk cases and tailor surveillance for patients at elevated metastatic recurrence risk.
