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

Pathological gross examination guides tissue sampling in heterogeneous ovarian tumors, where mixed components can complicate selection of representative regions. We evaluated whether a generalist large vision-language model can support gross image analysis through pathology-informed in-context exemplars. Using Qwen-2.5-Vision-Language-72B, we developed single-component exemplar optimization and histology-guided exemplar optimization to promote component-aware reasoning and region-level risk flagging. In a single-institution retrospective cohort, the optimized eight-shot strategy achieved 89.8% image-level accuracy on mixed ovarian tumors and improved region-level demarcation relevant to sampling. In borderline tumors with microinvasion or microinvasive carcinoma, model-identified regions encompassed pathologist-defined sampling areas, supporting risk flagging rather than stand-alone diagnosis. In rare malignant tumors (
