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

We aimed to investigate the relationship between tumor radiomic margin characteristics and prognosis in patients with lung cancer. We enrolled 334 patients who underwent complete resection for lung adenocarcinoma. A quantitative computed tomography analysis was performed, and 76 radiomic margin characteristics were extracted. The radiomic margin characteristics were correlated with overall survival. The selected clinical variables and radiomic margin characteristics were used to calculate a prognostic model with subsequent internal and external validation. Nearly all of the radiomic margin characteristics showed excellent reproducibility. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method was used to select eight radiomic margin characteristics. When compared to the model with clinical variables only (C-index = 0.738), the model incorporating clinical variables and radiomic margin characteristics (C-index = 0.753) demonstrated a higher C-index for predicting overall survival. In the model integrating both clinical variables and radiomic margin characteristics, convexity, a Laplace of Gaussian (LoG) kurtosis of 3, and the roundness factor were each independently predictive of overall survival. In addition, radiomic margin characteristics were also correlated with the micropapillary subtype, and the sphericity value was able to predict the presence of the micropapillary subtype. In conclusion, our study showed that radiomic margin characteristics helped predict overall survival in patients with lung adenocarcinomas, thus implying that the tumor margin contains prognostic information.
