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

backgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI-based radiomics features for prediction of overall survival (OS) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients after surgical resection.

methodsThis prospective study approved by the Institutional Review Board enrolled 120 patients with pathologically confirmed HCC. Radiomics signatures (rad-scores) were built from radiomics features in 3 different regions of interest (ROIs) with the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) cox regression analysis. Preoperative clinical characteristics and semantic imaging features potentially associated with patient survival were evaluated to develop a clinic-radiological model. The radiomics features and clinic-radiological predictors were integrated into a joint model using multivariable Cox regression analysis. Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank tests were performed to compare the discriminative performance and evaluated on the validation cohort.

resultsThe radiomics signatures showed a significant association with patient survival in both cohorts (all P<0.001). The BCLC (Barcelona clinic liver cancer) stage, non-smooth tumor margin, and the combined rad-score were independently associated with OS. Moreover, the combined model incorporating with clinic-radiological and radiomics features showed an improved predictive performance with C-index of 0.92 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.87-0.97], compared to the clinic-radiological model (C-index, 0.86, 95% CI: 0.79-0.94; P=0.039) or the combined rad-score (C-index, 0.88, 95% CI: 0.81-0.95; P=0.016).

conclusionsRadiomics features along with clinic-radiological predictors can efficiently aid in preoperative HCC prognosis prediction after surgical resection and enable a step forward precise medicine.
