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

Accurately distinguishing between primary and gastrointestinal metastatic mucinous ovarian carcinoma (MOC) is crucial but remains highly challenging. We developed and validated the MOC Origin Prediction Model (MOCOPM), the deep learning model specifically designed to predict the origin of MOC from histopathology images. Cases of primary or gastrointestinal metastatic MOC were collected from three hospitals and divided into internal and external cohorts. Three neural networks were trained using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) as the primary performance metric. After five-fold cross-validation on the internal cohort, the best-performing model was selected to construct MOCOPM, which was then externally validated. In total, 167 MOC patients were included. MOCOPM achieved an average AUROC of 0.91 internally and 0.96 externally. This model offers a promising tool to support clinical decision-making in MOC diagnosis.
