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

This study used radiomics image analysis to examine the differences of texture feature values extracted from oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer positron emission tomography (PET) images on various tumor segmentations, and finds the proper and stable feature groups. A total of 80 oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer cases were retrospectively recruited. Radiomics method was applied to the PET image for the 80 oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer cases to extract texture features from various defined metabolic volumes. Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance method was used to test whether feature value difference exists between groups, which were grouped by stage, response to treatment, and recurrence. If there was a significant difference, the corresponding feature cutoff value was applied to the Kaplan-Meier estimator to estimate the survival functions. For the various defined metabolic volumes, there were 16 features that had significant differences between early (T1, T2) and late tumor stages (T3, T4). Five images and 2 textural features were found to be able to predict the tumor response and recurrence, respectively, with the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves reaching 0.7. The histogram entropy was found to be a good predictor of overall survival (OS) and primary relapse-free survival (PRFS) of oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer patients. Textural features from PET images provide predictive and prognostic information in tumor staging, tumor response, recurrence, and have the potential to be a prognosticator for OS and PRFS in oropharyngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer.
