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

objectivesThe aim of this study was to establish and validate a radiomics nomogram for predicting meningiomas consistency, which could facilitate individualized operation schemes-making.

methodsA total of 172 patients was enrolled in the study (train cohort: 120 cases, test cohort: 52 cases). Tumor consistency was classified as soft or firm according to Zada's consistency grading system. Radiomics features were extracted from multiparametric MRI. Variance selection and LASSO regression were used for feature selection. Then, radiomics models were constructed by five classifiers, and the area under curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the performance of each classifiers. A radiomics nomogram was developed using the best classifier. The performance of this nomogram was assessed by AUC, calibration and discrimination.

resultsA total of 3840 radiomics features were extracted from each patient, of which 3719 radiomics features were stable features. 28 features were selected to construct the radiomics nomogram. Logistic regression classifier had the highest prediction efficacy. Radiomics nomogram was constructed using logistic regression in the train cohort. The nomogram showed a good sensitivity and specificity with AUCs of 0.861 and 0.960 in train and test cohorts, respectively. Moreover, the calibration graph of the nomogram showed a favorable calibration in both train and test cohorts.

conclusionsThe presented radiomics nomogram, as a non-invasive prediction tool, could predict meningiomas consistency preoperatively with favorable accuracy, and facilitated the determination of individualized operation schemes.
