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

objectiveTo build and validate an MRI-based radiomics nomogram to predict the therapeutic response to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) in rectal mucinous adenocarcinoma (RMAC).

methodsTotally, 92 individuals with pathologically confirmed RMAC administered surgical resection upon nCRT in two different centers were assessed retrospectively (training set, n = 52, validation set, n = 40). Rectal MRI was performed pre-nCRT. Radiomics parameters were obtained from high-resolution T2-weighted images and selected to construct a radiomics signature. Then, radiomics nomogram construction integrated patient variables and the radiomics signature. The resulting radiomics nomogram was utilized to assess the tumor regression grade (TRG). Diagnostic performance was determined by generating receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and decision curve analysis (DCA).

resultsSix optimal features related to TRG were obtained to construct a radiomics signature. The nomogram combining the radiomics signature with age and mucin deposit outperformed the radiomics signature alone in the training (AUC, 0.950

conclusionsThe established quantitative MRI-based radiomics nomogram is effective in predicting treatment response to neoadjuvant therapy in patients with RMAC.
