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 aim of the study is to explore the role of computed tomography texture analysis (CT-TA) for predicting clinical T and N stages and tumor grade before neoadjuvant chemotherapy treatment in gastric cancer (GC) patients during the preoperative period. MATERIALS AND

methodsCT images of 114 patients with GC were included in this retrospective study. Following pre-processing steps, textural features were extracted using MaZda software in the portal venous phase. We evaluated and analyzed texture features of six principal categories for differentiating between T stages (T1,2 vs T3,4), N stages (N+ vs N-) and grades (low-intermediate vs. high). Classification was performed based on texture parameters with high model coefficients in linear discriminant analysis (LDA).

resultsDimension-reduction steps yielded five textural features for T stage, three for N stage and two for tumor grade. The discriminatory capacities of T stage, N stage and tumor grade were 90.4%, 81.6% and 64.5%, respectively, when LDA algorithm was employed.

conclusionCT-TA yields potentially useful imaging biomarkers for predicting the T and N stages of patients with GC and can be used for preoperative evaluation before neoadjuvant treatment planning.
