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

backgroundMicrosatellite instability (MSI) is a predictive biomarker for response to chemotherapy and a prognostic biomarker for clinical outcomes of rectal cancer. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate radiomics models for preoperative prediction of the MSI status of rectal cancer based on magnetic resonance (MR) images.

methodsThis study retrospectively recruited 491 rectal cancer patients with pathologically confirmed MSI status. Patients were randomly divided into a training cohort (n=327) and a validation cohort (n=164). The most predictive radiomics features were selected using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) analysis, the two-sample

resultsAmong the 491 rectal cancer patients, the prevalence of MSI was 10.39% (51/491). Following ICC analysis, two-sample

conclusionsRadiomics features based on preoperative T2-weighted MR imaging (MRI) are associated with the MSI status of rectal cancer. Combinational analysis of clinical factors and radiomics features may improve predictive performance and potentially contribute to noninvasive personalized therapy selection.
