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

Diagnosing rare diseases remains a critical challenge in clinical practice, often requiring specialist expertise. Despite the promising potential of machine learning, the scarcity of data on rare diseases and the need for interpretable, reliable artificial intelligence (AI) models complicates development. This study introduces a multimodal concept-based interpretable model tailored to distinguish uveal melanoma (0.4-0.6 per million in Asians) from hemangioma and metastatic carcinoma following the clinical practice. We collected a comprehensive dataset on Asians to date on choroid neoplasm imaging with radiological reports, encompassing over 750 patients from 2013 to 2019. Our model integrates domain expert insights from radiological reports and differentiates between three types of choroidal tumors, achieving an F
