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

purposeThe choice of adjuvant chemotherapy in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is mainly guided by patients' general condition. We hypothesized that tumor morphology may predict differential treatment benefit and tested whether deep learning applied to histology images could derive a biomarker of relative benefit from gemcitabine (GEM) versus modified FOLFIRINOX (mFOLFIRINOX) in resected PDAC. PATIENTS AND

methodsStandard whole-slide images from a retrospective multicentric series of 231 patients who underwent curative-intent pancreatectomy and received adjuvant mFOLFIRINOX (n = 54) or GEM (n = 177) were used to train regimen-specific histology models on disease-free survival (DFS), which were then combined into PANCprAId, a biomarker estimating personalized relative benefit from adjuvant GEM versus mFOLFIRINOX. External validation was performed in the randomized PRODIGE-24/CCTG PA6 trial (n = 313).

resultsIn PRODIGE-24/CCTG PA6, the treatment-specific histology scores used to construct PANCprAId stratified outcomes among patients treated with GEM (hazard ratio [HR], 1.69 [95% CI, 1.04 to 2.73];

conclusionHistology-based deep learning can derive a predictive biomarker of relative benefit from adjuvant GEM versus mFOLFIRINOX in resected PDAC.
