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

Introduction: The conventional tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) classification system remains limited in accurately forecasting prognosis and guiding adjuvant chemotherapy decisions for patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). To address this gap, we introduced and validated a novel pathomics signature (PS Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 883 slides from two independent cohorts. An interpretable multi-instance learning model was developed to construct PS Results: The results demonstrated that PS Discussion: Our findings suggested that the application of deep learning to histopathological images could be an efficient method to improve the prognostic accuracy and evaluate the treatment responses in CRC. The PS
