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

objectiveThis study developed a multiomics model combining radiomics, pathomics, and temporal imaging to predict major pathological response in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) undergoing neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy.

methodsA retrospective, multicenter study was conducted, enrolling 271 patients with stage IB-III NSCLC who received neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy. High-resolution CT images were enhanced using a generative adversarial network-based super-resolution technique. Radiomics features were extracted from multi-sequence CT scans at multiple time points, while pathomics features were derived from whole-slide imaging of surgical specimens. A transformer-based attention mechanism was used to integrate radiomics, pathomics, and temporal imaging data. The model was trained and validated on data from one center and tested on external cohorts. Performance was evaluated using area under the curve (AUC), net reclassification improvement, integrated discrimination improvement, and decision curve analysis.

resultsThe Trans-Model demonstrated superior predictive performance, achieving an AUC of 0.858 (95% CI 0.783 to 0.933) in the external test cohort. It outperformed Rad-Model (AUC: 0.839) and Patho-Model (AUC: 0.753). The Trans-Model effectively stratified patients by survival outcomes, with major pathological response (MPR)-positive patients exhibiting significantly improved 3-year overall survival (87.3% vs 76.1%, p=0.034) and 5-year progression-free survival (45.8% vs 34.7%, p=0.033) compared with MPR-negative patients. Decision curve analysis confirmed the model's clinical utility across a wide range of threshold probabilities.

conclusionThe multiomics model, integrating multi-temporal, multi-sequence data with attention-based feature fusion, improves MPR prediction in patients with NSCLC receiving neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy, enabling personalized treatment by identifying responders and optimizing outcomes.
