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
Neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy (nICT) has significantly improved the treatment of locally advanced esophageal cancer (EC), yet accurately identifying patients' response remains a major challenge. In this study, we introduce eSPARK, a multimodal framework designed to integrate routinely available clinical data for informed decision-making in nICT treatment for EC. The model is developed using 344 patients from three independent regions, each with pre-treatment-paired computed tomography (CT) imaging and pathological slides, and postoperative pathological complete response (pCR) outcomes. By incorporating cytological semantic information, eSPARK demonstrates superior generalizability, outperforming single-modality models and achieving robust predictive accuracy across multicenter datasets. Additionally, a multi-scale interpretability module identifies several biomarkers, including the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in the tumor microenvironment, associated with nICT response. Our findings underscore the potential of eSPARK as a powerful tool for personalized therapeutic decision-making in locally advanced EC and its broader implications for advancing precision oncology through multidisciplinary data integration.
