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

objectiveTo evaluate the performance of a multiparametric MRI radiomics-based nomogram for the individualised prediction of synchronous distant metastasis (SDM) in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).

methodsTwo-hundred and one patients (training cohort: n = 126; internal validation cohort: n = 39; external validation cohort: n = 36) with ccRCC were retrospectively enrolled between January 2013 and June 2019. In the training cohort, the optimal MRI radiomics features were selected and combined to calculate the radiomics score (Rad-score). Incorporating Rad-score and SDM-related clinicoradiologic characteristics, the radiomics-based nomogram was established by multivariable logistic regression analysis, then the performance of the nomogram (discrimination and clinical usefulness) was evaluated and validated subsequently. Moreover, the prediction efficacy for SDM in ccRCC subgroups of different sizes was also assessed.

resultsIncorporating Rad-score derived from 9 optimal MR radiomics features (age, pseudocapsule and regional lymph node), the radiomics-based nomogram was capable of predicting SDM in the training cohort (area under the ROC curve (AUC) = 0.914) and validated in both the internal and external cohorts (AUC = 0.854 and 0.816, respectively) and also showed a convincing predictive power in ccRCC subgroups of different sizes (≤ 4 cm, AUC = 0.875; 4-7 cm, AUC = 0.891; 7-10 cm, 0.908; > 10 cm, AUC = 0.881). Decision curve analysis indicated that the radiomics-based nomogram is of clinical usefulness.

conclusionsThe multiparametric MRI radiomics-based nomogram could achieve precise individualised prediction of SDM in patients with ccRCC, potentially improving the management of ccRCC. KEY POINTS: • Radiomics features derived from multiparametric magnetic resonance images showed relevant association with synchronous distant metastasis in clear cell renal cell carcinoma. • MRI radiomics-based nomogram may serve as a potential tool for the risk prediction of synchronous distant metastasis in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
