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

Classification of lung cancer subtypes is a critical clinical step; however, relying solely on H&E-stained histopathology images can pose challenges, and additional immunohistochemical analysis is sometimes required for definitive subtyping. Digital pathology facilitates the use of artificial intelligence for automatic classification of digital tissue slides. Automatic classification of Whole Slide Images (WSIs) typically involves extracting features from patches obtained from them. The aim of this study was to develop a WSI classification framework utilizing an optimizable kernel to encode features from each patch from a WSI into a desirable and adjustable latent space using an evolutionary algorithm. The encoded data can then be used for classification and segmentation while being computationally more efficient. Our proposed framework is compared with a state-of-the-art model, Vim4Path, on an internal and external dataset of lung cancer WSIs. The proposed model outperforms Vim-S16 in accuracy and F
