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

Background and objective: Despite advances in imaging, analysis of part-solid nodules (PSNs) using conventional clinical-radiological features (CRF) remains highly subjective. Therefore, we introduced a clinical-radiological transformer-attention algorithm, the Prior Clinical-Radiological Transformer-Attention Net (PCRTA-Net), and evaluated its efficacy for preoperative prediction of pathological invasiveness in lung adenocarcinoma presenting as PSNs. Methods: In this retrospective study, 277 patients with lung adenocarcinoma presenting as PSN were randomly divided into training ( Results: PCRTA-Net demonstrated superior performance over the other models, achieving an AUC of 0.9084 (95% CI: 0.8055-0.9779). It consistently showed a superior net benefit across nearly the entire range of clinically relevant threshold probabilities (3.7-95%) compared with the other models. It achieved the highest NRI and IDI in the heatmaps, confirming its incremental predictive value. Conclusion: PCRTA-Net is a diagnostic algorithm integrating CRF with TA-Net that enhances the preoperative prediction of pathological invasiveness in lung adenocarcinoma presenting as PSN. It exhibited superior diagnostic performance, potentially facilitating its application in precision medicine.
