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

Bone tumors such as osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma remain among the most challenging cancers to diagnose and monitor because of their biological heterogeneity and overlapping radiological features. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides detailed anatomical insights, whereas liquid biopsy offers minimally invasive access to tumor genetics through circulating DNA, RNA, and extracellular vesicles. Each modality alone is limited, but recent advances in deep learning have enabled multimodal fusion of imaging and molecular data, improving risk stratification, therapy monitoring, and prognostication in patients with osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma. This review highlights how multimodal AI frameworks are being applied to bone tumors, delineating evidence from sarcoma-specific studies and representative pan‑cancer models with direct methodological relevance. By integrating MRI radiomics with liquid biopsy omics, deep learning holds promise for redefining precision oncology in bone tumors, delivering earlier detection and more personalized treatment strategies.
