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 develop and validate a machine learning classifier based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), for the preoperative prediction of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). MATERIALS AND

methodsIn this retrospective study, 156 patients with PDAC underwent MR scan and surgical resection. The expression of CD4, CD8 and CD20 was detected and quantified using immunohistochemistry, and TILs score was achieved by Cox regression model. All patients were divided into TILs score-low and TILs score-high groups. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method and the extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) were used to select the features and to construct a prediction model. The performance of the models was assessed using the training cohort (116 patients) and the validation cohort (40 patients), and decision curve analysis (DCA) was applied for clinical use.

resultsThe XGBoost prediction model showed good discrimination in the training (AUC 0.86; 95% CI 0.79-0.93) and validation sets (AUC 0.79; 95% CI 0.64-0.93). The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for the training set were 86.67%, 75.00%, and 0.81, respectively, whereas those for the validation set were 84.21%, 66.67%, and 0.75, respectively. Decision curve analysis indicated the clinical usefulness of the XGBoost classifier.

conclusionThe model constructed by XGBoost could predict PDAC TILs and may aid clinical decision making for immune therapy.
