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

objectSTAS is associated with poor differentiation, KRAS mutation and poor recurrence-free survival. The aims of this study are to evaluate the ability of intra- and perinodular radiomic features to distinguish STAS at non-contrast CT. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis retrospective study included 216 patients with pathologically confirmed lung adenocarcinoma (STAS+, n = 56; STAS-, n = 160). Texture-based features were extracted from intra- and perinodular regions of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 20 mm distances from the tumor edge using an erosion and expansion algorithm. Traditional radiologic features were also analyzed including size, consolidation tumor ratio (CTR), density, shape, vascular change, cystic airspaces, tumor-lung interface, lobulation, spiculation, and satellite sign. Nine radiomic models were established by using the eight separate models and a total of the eight VOIs (eight-VOI model). Then the prediction efficiencies of the nine radiomic models were compared to predict STAS of lung adenocarcinomas.

resultsAmong the traditional radiologic features, CTR, unclear tumor-lung interface, and satellite sign were found to be associated with STAS significantly, and the AUCs were 0.796, 0.677, and 0.606, respectively. Radiomic model of combined tumor bodies and all the distances of perinodular areas (eight-VOI model) had better predictive efficiency for predicting STAS+ lung adenocarcinoma. The AUCs of the eight-VOI model in the training and verification sets were 0.907 (95%CI, 0.862-0.947) in the training set, and 0.897 (95%CI, 0.784-0.985) in the testing set, and 0.909 (95%CI, 0.863-0.949) in the external validation set, and the diagnostic accuracy in the external validation set was 0.849.

conclusionRadiomic features from intra- and perinodular regions of nodules can best distinguish STAS of lung adenocarcinoma.
