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

IntroductionDetermining the HER2 status accurately is a critical determinant in breast cancer treatment planning. Manual scoring remains highly susceptible to inter- and intra-observer variability, particularly in diagnostically ambiguous cases (HER2 1+/2+). Furthermore, contemporary deep learning models frequently lack the robustness and interpretability required for safe clinical integration.MethodsWe propose a hybrid ensemble framework that synergizes EVA-02-Large, Vision Transformer-Base, and ConvNeXt-V2-Nano architectures via an adaptive late-fusion mechanism. The model was trained on the expert-annotated HER2-IHC-40x dataset (
