Quantitative ultrasound delta-radiomics during radiotherapy for monitoring treatment responses in head and neck malignancies.
Article in Future science OA, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimWe investigated quantitative ultrasound (QUS) in patients with node-positive head and neck malignancies for monitoring responses to radical radiotherapy (RT). MATERIALS &
methodsQUS spectral and texture parameters were acquired from metastatic lymph nodes 24 h, 1 and 4 weeks after starting RT. K-nearest neighbor and naive-Bayes machine-learning classifiers were used to build prediction models for each time point. Response was detected after 3 months of RT, and patients were classified into complete and partial responders.
resultsSingle-feature naive-Bayes classification performed best with a prediction accuracy of 80, 86 and 85% at 24 h, week 1 and 4, respectively.
conclusionQUS-radiomics can predict RT response at 3 months as early as 24 h with reasonable accuracy, which further improves into 1 week of treatment.
