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

backgroundLung adenocarcinoma (LADC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation is considered a subgroup of lung cancer sensitive to EGFR-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors. We aimed to develop and validate a computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics signature for prediction of EGFR mutation status in LADC appearing as a subsolid nodule. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 467 eligible patients were divided into training and validation cohorts (

resultsIn this study, 64.2% (300/467) of the patients showed EGFR mutations. L858R mutation of exon 21 was the most common mutation type (185/301). We identified a CT-based radiomics signature that successfully discriminated between EGFR positive and EGFR negative in the training cohort (AUC = 0.831) and the validation cohort (AUC = 0.789). The radiomics signature combined with the clinical factors model was not superior to the simple radiomics signature in the two cohorts (

conclusionAs a noninvasive method, the CT-based radiomics signature can be used to predict the EGFR mutation status of LADC appearing as a subsolid nodule. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Lung adenocarcinoma (LADC) with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation is considered a subgroup of lung cancer that is sensitive to EGFR-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitors. However, some patients with inoperable subsolid LADC are unable to undergo tissue sampling by biopsy for molecular analysis in clinical practice. A computed tomography-based radiomics signature may serve as a noninvasive biomarker to predict the EGFR mutation status of subsolid LADCs when mutational profiling is not available or possible.
