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

Objective: Utilizing pathomics to analyze high-grade gliomas and provide prognostic insights. Methods: Regions of Interest (ROIs) in tumor areas were identified in whole-slide images (WSI). Tumor patches underwent cropping, white space removal, and normalization. A deep learning model trained on these patches aggregated predictions for WSIs. Pathological features were extracted using Pearson correlation, univariate Cox regression, and LASSO-Cox regression. Three models were developed: a Pathomics-based model, a clinical model, and a combined model integrating both. Results: Pathological and Clinical Features were used to build two models, leading to a predictive model with a C-index of 0.847 (train) and 0.739 (test). High-risk patients had a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 10 months (p<0.001), while low-risk patients had not reached median PFS. Stratification by IDH status revealed significant PFS differences. Conclusion: The combined model effectively predicts high-grade glioma prognosis.
