Radiomics nomogram of contrast-enhanced spectral mammography for prediction of axillary lymph node metastasis in breast cancer: a multicenter study.

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.
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
objectiveThis study aims to establish and validate a radiomics nomogram based on contrast-enhanced spectral mammography (CESM) for prediction of axillary lymph node (ALN) metastasis in breast cancer.
methodsThis retrospective study included 394 patients with breast cancer who underwent CESM examination in two hospitals. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression was established for feature selection and utilized to construct radiomics signature. The nomogram model included the radiomics signature and independent clinical factors. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to confirm the performance of the nomogram in training and validation sets.
resultsThe nomogram model, which includes the radiomics signature and the CESM-reported lymph node status, has areas under the ROC curves of 0.774 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.689-0.858), 0.767 (95% CI 0.583-0.857), and 0.79 (95% CI 0.63-0.94) in the training, internal validation, and external validation sets, respectively. We identified the cutoff score in the radiomics nomogram as - 1.49, which corresponded to a total point of 49 that could diagnose ALN metastasis with a sensitivity of > 95%.
conclusionsThe CESM-based radiomics nomogram is a noninvasive predictive tool that shows good application prospects in the preoperative prediction of ALN metastasis in breast cancer. KEY POINTS: • The CESM-based radiomics nomogram shows good performance in predicting ALN metastasis in breast cancer. • The application of radiomics nomogram in this study provides a new approach for establishing a prediction model with multiple characteristics. • The nomogram has good application prospects in assisting clinical decision makers.
