Deep Learning Histology for Prediction of Lymph Node Metastases and Tumor Regression after Neoadjuvant FLOT Therapy of Gastroesophageal Adenocarcinoma.

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.
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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to establish a deep learning prediction model for neoadjuvant FLOT chemotherapy response. The neural network utilized clinical data and visual information from whole-slide images (WSIs) of therapy-naïve gastroesophageal cancer biopsies.
methodsThis study included 78 patients from the University Hospital of Cologne and 59 patients from the University Hospital of Heidelberg used as external validation.
resultsAfter surgical resection, 33 patients from Cologne (42.3%) were ypN0 and 45 patients (57.7%) were ypN+, while 23 patients from Heidelberg (39.0%) were ypN0 and 36 patients (61.0%) were ypN+ (
conclusionsThis study demonstrates that visual features extracted by deep learning from therapy-naïve biopsies of gastroesophageal adenocarcinomas correlate with positive lymph nodes and tumor regression. The results will be confirmed in prospective studies to achieve early allocation of patients to the most promising treatment.
