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

Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) is currently the standard for tumor response measurement, but it is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and subject to reader variability. Tumor growth inhibition (TGI) models built on RECIST datasets often consider the time-course of all lesions as one aggregated tumor, as represented by the sum of longest diameters. An AI-based tool was utilized to obtain comprehensive data of both aggregated tumor and individual lesion growth dynamics in terms of their longest diameters and 3D volumes. Standard and AI-derived measurements were used to develop TGI models to evaluate the time-course of aggregate and lesion-level tumor shrinkage for patients receiving lorlatinib in the phase III CROWN trial. Additionally, a parametric time-to-event model was developed to describe the PFS probability. Lesion-level TGI models were connected to the PFS model by investigating the influence of various TGI-derived tumor metrics and parameter estimates on the association with PFS. TGI models developed using the more comprehensive AI-generated lesion measurements demonstrated better precision and were more robust than traditional RECIST-based models when tested under different scenarios using stochastic simulation and estimation (SSE). The mean value of tumor decay rate (K
