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

Whole slide images (WSIs) are critical for cancer diagnosis but pose computational challenges due to their gigapixel resolution. While automated AI tools can accelerate diagnostic workflows, they often rely on precise annotations and require substantial training data. Integrating multimodal data-such as WSIs and corresponding pathology reports-offers a promising solution to improve classification accuracy and reduce diagnostic variability. In this study, we introduce MPath-Net, an end-to-end multimodal framework that combines WSIs and pathology reports for enhanced cancer subtype classification. Using the TCGA dataset (1684 cases: 916 kidney, 768 lung), we applied multiple-instance learning (MIL) for WSI feature extraction and Sentence-BERT for report encoding, followed by joint fine-tuning for tumor classification. MPath-Net achieved 94.65% accuracy, 0.9553 precision, 0.9472 recall, and 0.9473 F1-score, significantly outperforming baseline models (
