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

objectiveThis study aimed to build and validate a radiomics-integrated model with whole-brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to predict the progression of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to Alzheimer's disease (AD).

methods357 patients with MCI were selected from the ADNI database, which is an open-source database for AD with multicentre cooperation, of which 154 progressed to AD during the 48-month follow-up period. Subjects were divided into a training and test group. For each patient, the baseline T

resultsStepwise logistic regression analysis showed that the APOE4, clinical dementia rating, AD assessment scale, and radiomics signature were independent predictors of MCI progression to AD. The integrated model was constructed based on independent predictors using machine learning. The ROC curve showed that the accuracy of the model in the training and the test sets was 0.814 and 0.807, with a specificity of 0.671 and 0.738, and a sensitivity of 0.822 and 0.745, respectively. In addition, the model had the most significant diagnostic efficacy in predicting MCI progression to AD within 12 months, with an AUC of 0.814, sensitivity of 0.726, and specificity of 0.798.

conclusionThe integrated model based on whole-brain radiomics can accurately identify and predict the high-risk population of MCI patients who may progress to AD. Radiomics biomarkers are practical in the precursory stage of such disease.
