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

Accurately predicting pathological complete response (pCR) before neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is crucial for patients with breast cancer. In this study, we developed a multimodal integrated fully automated pipeline system (MIFAPS) in forecasting pCR to NAC, using a multicenter and prospective dataset of 1004 patients with locally advanced breast cancer, incorporating pretreatment magnetic resonance imaging, whole slide image, and clinical risk factors. The results demonstrated that MIFAPS offered a favorable predictive performance in both the pooled external test set [area under the curve (AUC) = 0.882] and the prospective test set (AUC = 0.909). In addition, MIFAPS significantly outperformed single-modality models (
