A Synaptogenesis-Associated Histomorphologic Signature from H&E Whole-Slide Images Predicts Glioma Prognosis and Identifies
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Synaptogenesis-related neuron-glioma interactions are increasingly recognized in glioma, yet it remains unclear whether routine H&E morphology can capture these programs and improve prognostic stratification. We integrated H&E whole-slide images, transcriptomes, and clinical data from 434 TCGA gliomas. Deep learning and quantitative pathology yielded an integrated histomorphologic feature set of 2678 features. Synaptogenesis-related activity was quantified using ssGSEA for ninety-eight synaptogenesis-related genes. In the training cohort, Spearman analysis identified 149 correlated histomorphologic features, which were refined to thirty-five by elastic net regularization. Seventeen prognostic candidates were entered into the MIME1 framework, and the most parsimonious model, Enet[0.1], retained fourteen non-zero-coefficient features to define the synaptogenesis-associated histomorphologic signature and construct the pathology-derived risk score (PRS). Multi-omic analyses, Human Protein Atlas validation, and single-nucleus RNA-seq were used to investigate the hub gene and its cellular context. PRS robustly stratified survival in both training and validation cohorts and remained an independent prognostic factor after adjustment for age and 2021 WHO CNS grade. High-risk tumors showed increased stromal and immune scores and enrichment of immune, adhesion, and phagosome-related pathways.
