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

objectivesA subset of non-functioning pituitary macroadenomas (NFPAs) may exhibit early progression/recurrence (P/R) after surgical resection. The purpose of this study was to apply radiomics in predicting P/R in NFPAs.

methodsOnly patients who had undergone preoperative MRI and postoperative MRI follow-ups for more than 1 year were included in this study. From September 2010 to December 2017, 50 eligible patients diagnosed with pathologically confirmed NFPAs were identified. Preoperative coronal T2WI and contrast-enhanced (CE) T1WI imaging were analyzed by computer algorithms. For each imaging sequence, 32 first-order features and 75 texture features were extracted. Support vector machine (SVM) classifier was utilized to evaluate the importance of extracted parameters, and the most significant three parameters were used to build the prediction model. The SVM score was calculated based on the three selected features.

resultsTwenty-eight patients exhibited P/R (28/50, 56%) after surgery. The median follow-up time was 38 months, and the median time to P/R was 20 months. Visual disturbance, hypopituitarism, extrasellar extension, compression of the third ventricle, large tumor height and volume, failed optic chiasmatic decompression, and high SVM score were more frequently encountered in the P/R group (

conclusionsOur preliminary results showed that objective and quantitative MR radiomic features can be extracted from NFPAs. Pending more studies and evidence to support the findings, radiomics analysis of preoperative MRI may have the potential to offer valuable information in treatment planning for NFPAs.
