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

Background: Lung cancer (LC) is the second most diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 85% of cases, with oncogenic alterations like Methods: A systematic review registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024573602) was conducted in Embase, LILACS, Medline, Web of Science, and Cochrane to identify studies on DL models using H&E slides for LC gene alterations. Only English and Spanish studies were included. Key metrics were extracted for meta-analysis. Studies without LC-specific data, missing essential metrics, or with inconsistent results were excluded. Results: We found evidence that convolutional neural networks (CNNs) were the most common architectures in studies. Also, in the meta-analysis, Conclusions: Our results emphasize the potential of these models as screening tools despite H&E WSI.It is necessary to validate these predictive models among diverse populations and clinical outcomes. This approach is crucial and leaves an open door for advances in precision medicine, offering promising avenues for personalized treatment strategies.
