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

backgroundIt is difficult to identify pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and mass-forming chronic pancreatitis (MFCP) lesions through conventional CT or MR examination. As an innovative image analysis method, radiomics may possess potential clinical value in identifying PDAC and MFCP. To develop and validate radiomics models derived from multiparametric MRI to distinguish pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and mass-forming chronic pancreatitis (MFCP) lesions.

methodsThis retrospective study included 119 patients from two independent institutions. Patients from one institution were used as the training cohort (51 patients with PDAC and 13 patients with MFCP), and patients from the other institution were used as the testing cohort (45 patients with PDAC and 10 patients with MFCP). All the patients had pathologically confirmed results, and preoperative MRI was performed. Four feature sets were extracted from T1-weighted imaging (T1WI), T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), and the artery (A) and portal (P) phases of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI, and the corresponding radiomics models were established. Several clinical characteristics were used to discriminate PDAC and MFCP lesions, and clinical model was established. The results of radiologists' evaluation were compared with pathology and radiomics models. Univariate analysis and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator algorithm were performed for feature selection, and a support vector machine was used for classification. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to assess the model discrimination.

resultsThe areas under the ROC curves (AUCs) for the T1WI, T2WI, A and, P and clinical models were 0.893, 0.911, 0.958, 0.997 and 0.516 in the primary cohort, and 0.882, 0.902, 0.920, 0.962 and 0.649 in the validation cohort, respectively. All radiomics models performed better than clinical model and radiologists' evaluation both in the training and testing cohorts by comparing the AUC of various models, all P<0.050. Good calibration was achieved.

conclusionsThe radiomics models based on multiparametric MRI have the potential ability to classify PDAC and MFCP lesions.
