A hybrid CNN-ViT framework with cross-attention fusion and data augmentation for robust brain tumor classification.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Brain tumor classification from MRI scans is a challenging task that requires accurate and timely detection increase patient survival rates. Conventional machine learning methods with hand-crafted features often fail to handle different sizes, forms, and textures of tumors. In this study evaluates, standard transfer learning models (AlexNet, MobileNetV2, InceptionV3, ResNet50, VGG16, VGG19) and conventional classifier models such as Decision Tree, Naïve Bayes, LDA were evaluated for multiclass brain tumor classification. The Vision Transformer (ViT) which leverages global context modeling achieved accuracy of 87.34%. To further improve performance, a hybrid CNN–ViT framework named CAFNet with data augmentation and a Cross-Attention Fusion mechanism achieving a test accuracy of 96.41% on a multiclass MRI dataset. The results show that CAFNet significantly outperforms conventional machine learning, deep learning and transfer learning models for robust brain tumor classification.
