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

objectivesTo build a reliable radiomics model from multiregional and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for pretreatment prediction of O

methodsIn this retrospective multicentre study, 1,705 multiregional radiomics features were automatically extracted from multiparametric MRI. A radiomics model with a minimal set of all-relevant features and a radiomics model with univariately-predictive and non-redundant features were built for MGMT methylation prediction from a primary cohort (133 patients) and tested on an independent validation cohort (60 patients). Predictive models combing clinical factors were built and evaluated. Both radiomics models were assessed on subgroups stratified by clinical factors.

resultsThe radiomics model with six all-relevant features allowed pretreatment prediction of MGMT methylation (AUC=0.88, accuracy=80 %), which significantly outperformed the model with eight univariately-predictive and non-redundant features (AUC=0.76, accuracy=70 %). Combing clinical factors with radiomics features did not benefit the prediction performance. The all-relevant model achieved significantly better performance in stratified analysis.

conclusionsRadiomics model built from multiregional and multiparameter MRI may serve as a potential imaging biomarker for pretreatment prediction of MGMT methylation in GBM. The all-relevant features have the potential of offering better predictive power than the univariately-predictive and non-redundant features. KEY POINTS: • Multiregional and multiparametric MRI features reliably predicted MGMT methylation in multicentre cohorts. • All-relevant imaging features predicted MGMT methylation better than univariately-predictive and non-redundant features. • Combing clinical factors with radiomics features did not benefit the prediction performance.
