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

Molecular subtyping and grading of adult-type diffuse gliomas are essential for treatment decisions and patient prognosis. We introduce GlioMT, an interpretable multimodal transformer that integrates imaging and clinical data to predict the molecular subtype and grade of adult-type diffuse gliomas according to the 2021 WHO classification. GlioMT is trained on multiparametric MRI data from an institutional set of 1053 patients with adult-type diffuse gliomas to predict the IDH mutation status, 1p/19q codeletion status, and tumor grade. External validation on the TCGA (200 patients) and UCSF (477 patients) shows that GlioMT outperforms conventional CNNs and visual transformers, achieving AUCs of 0.915 (TCGA) and 0.981 (UCSF) for IDH mutation, 0.854 (TCGA) and 0.806 (UCSF) for 1p/19q codeletion, and 0.862 (TCGA) and 0.960 (UCSF) for grade prediction. GlioMT enhances the reliability of clinical decision-making by offering interpretability through attention maps and contributions of imaging and clinical data.
