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

Significance: Morpho-chemical characterization of skin cancers provides valuable insights for early diagnosis, classification, and treatment response assessment. Aim: We introduce a compact, noninvasive system combining high-resolution morphological imaging and chemical characterization of skin tissues. The system integrates line-field confocal optical coherence tomography for cellular-level imaging and confocal Raman microspectroscopy to analyze the chemical composition of specific targets identified within the morphological images. Approach: We present results obtained from the system installed in a clinical setting over the course of 1 year. More than 330 nonmelanoma skin cancer specimens were imaged Results: The model demonstrated high classification performance, achieving an area under the ROC curve of 0.95 for basal cell carcinoma structures and 0.92 when including structures from both basal and squamous cell carcinomas. Conclusions: Spectral attention scores derived from Raman data revealed key chemical differences among the various cancerous structures, offering deeper insights into their composition.
