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

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive pleural tumor associated with asbestos exposure. Poor clinical outcome of MPM is often driven by late-stage diagnosis due to non-specific clinical presentation, similarity to pleural lesions (e.g., inflammatory changes, metastatic adenocarcinoma), and limitations of current diagnostic methods. We employed Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy combined with convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to analyze formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) pleural tissue samples from patients with MPM, metastatic adenocarcinoma, pleural inflammation, and normal (healthy) pleura. Glycan analysis of FFPE normal pleura and MPM was performed using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) and mass spectrometry (MS). Our FTIR-spectral analysis uncovered a strong spectral fingerprint of MPM that was especially apparent in the region typical for C-O and C-C stretches as well as local symmetry region typical for deformation vibrations of CH
