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

Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) is a rare condition where early tumor detection is challenging due to diffuse infiltration and tumor heterogeneity. Accurate identification of DGC cells is essential for understanding tumor behavior. This study aimed to develop deep learning models to automatically detect key tumor cell types-typical and atypical signet ring cells and non-signet ring tumor cells-in H&E-stained digital pathology slides from HDGC patients. Using a multi-center dataset of 350 whole-slide images and over 91,000 annotated cells from 43 patients, we trained nnU-Net models for cell detection and compared them to Faster R-CNN baselines. We also conducted a reader study with five pathologists to benchmark performance. nnU-Net outperformed both pathologist inter-observer agreement and Faster R-CNN, achieving an F
