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

One of the most promising areas of diagnosis and prognosis of diseases is radiomics, a science combining radiology, mathematical modeling, and deep machine learning. The main concept of radiomics is image biomarkers (IBMs), the parameters characterizing various pathological changes and calculated based on the analysis of digital image texture. IBMs are used for quantitative assessment of digital imaging results (CT, MRI, ultrasound, PET). The use of IBMs in the form of "virtual biopsy" is of particular relevance in oncology. The article provides the basic concepts of radiomics identifying the main stages of obtaining IBMs: data collection and preprocessing, tumor segmentation, data detection and extraction, modeling, statistical processing, and data validation. The authors have analyzed the possibilities of using IBMs in oncology, describing the currently known features and advantages of using radiomics and image texture analysis in the diagnosis and prognosis of cancer. The limitations and problems associated with the use of radiomics data are considered. Although the novel effective tool for performing virtual biopsy of human tissue is at the development stage, quite a few projects have already been implemented, and medical software packages for radiomics analysis of digital images have been created.
