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

purposeWe aimed to establish radiotranscriptomics signatures based on serum miRNA levels and computed tomography (CT) texture features and develop nomogram models for predicting radiotherapy response in patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

methodsWe first used established radioresistant NSCLC cell lines for miRNA selection. At the same time, patients (103 for training set and 71 for validation set) with NSCLC were enrolled. Their pretreatment contrast-enhanced CT texture features were extracted and their serum miRNA levels were obtained. Then, radiotranscriptomics feature selection was implemented with the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), and signatures were generated by logistic or Cox regression for objective response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS). Afterward, radiotranscriptomics signature-based nomograms were constructed and assessed for clinical use.

resultsFour miRNAs and 22 reproducible contrast-enhanced CT features were used for radiotranscriptomics feature selection and we generated ORR-, OS-, and PFS- related radiotranscriptomics signatures. In patients with NSCLC who received radiotherapy, the radiotranscriptomics signatures were independently associated with ORR, OS, and PFS in both the training (OR: 2.94, P < .001; HR: 2.90, P < .001; HR: 3.58, P = .001) and validation set (OR: 2.94, P = .026; HR: 2.14, P = .004; HR: 2.64, P = .016). We also obtained a satisfactory nomogram for ORR. The C-index values for the ORR nomogram were 0.86 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.75 to 0.92] in the training set and 0.81 (95% CI, 0.69 to 0.89) in the validation set. The calibration-in-the-large and calibration slope performed well. Decision curve analysis indicated a satisfactory net benefit.

conclusionsThe radiotranscriptomics signature could be an independent biomarker for evaluating radiotherapeutic responses in patients with NSCLC. The radiotranscriptomics signature-based nomogram could be used to predict patients' ORR, which would represent progress in individualized medicine.
