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

purposeThe pathological risk degree of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) has become an issue of great concern. Computed tomography (CT) is beneficial for showing adjacent tissues in detail and determining metastasis or recurrence of GISTs, but its function is still limited. Radiomics has recently shown a great potential in aiding clinical decision-making. The purpose of our study is to develop and validate CT-based radiomics models for GIST risk stratification.

methodsThree hundred and sixty-six patients clinically suspected of primary GISTs from January 2013 to February 2018 were retrospectively enrolled, among which data from 140 patients were eventually analyzed after exclusion. Data from patient CT images were partitioned based on the National Institutes of Health Consensus Classification, including tumor segmentation, radiomics feature extraction and selection. A radiomics model was then proposed and validated.

resultsThe radiomics signature demonstrated discriminative performance for advanced and nonadvanced GISTs with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.935 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.870-1.000] and an accuracy of 90.2% for validation cohort. The radiomics signature demonstrated favorable performance for the risk stratification of GISTs with an AUC of 0.809 (95% CI 0.777-0.841) and an accuracy of 67.5% for the validation cohort. Radiomics analysis could capture features of the four risk categories of GISTs. Meanwhile, this CT-based radiomics signature showed good diagnostic accuracy to distinguish between nonadvanced and advanced GISTs, as well as the four risk stratifications of GISTs.

conclusionOur findings highlight the potential of a quantitative radiomics analysis as a complementary tool to achieve an accurate diagnosis for GISTs.
