A multimodal AI biomarker PATH-ORACLE improves prediction of recurrence in stage I lung adenocarcinoma.
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The standard treatment for stage I lung adenocarcinoma is surgical resection, in most cases without additional systemic adjuvant treatment. A significant proportion of stage I cases recur with a less than 50% 5-year survival rate. There are clinical data suggesting that adjuvant treatment may improve survival in such recurrent cases. However, previously evaluated predictors such as the IASLC grading system from histological sections and transcriptomic profiles have not been sufficiently accurate and consistent for risk stratification and to guide therapeutic interventions. We hypothesized that these previously investigated diverse diagnostic measurements carry complementary information that may provide higher prognostic power when combined. Here we describe a multimodal deep learning method, PATH-ORACLE. This biomarker is built on top of the prospectively validated transcriptomic-based ORACLE score with the addition of routine histological sections processed by pre-trained foundation models. PATH-ORACLE predicts recurrence with an accuracy of over 85% in two independent cohorts. Given further validation this predictor could be used to prioritize stage IB patients for adjuvant chemotherapy in a more consistent fashion. Furthermore, for stage IA cases, PATH-ORACLE, combined with liquid biopsy-based monitoring may help identify high-risk patients suitable for adjuvant targeted therapy.
