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 investigate the ability of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)-based radiomics combined with machine learning to detect early protein changes after incomplete thermal ablation.

methodsHCT-26 colorectal adenoma cells were engrafted into the livers of 80 mice, which were randomly divided into 4 groups for palliative laser ablation. Changes in heat shock protein (HSP) and apoptosis-related protein expression in the tumors were assessed. SCID mice subjected to CEUS and ultrasonography were divided into training (n=56) and test (n=24) datasets. Then, 102 features from seven feature groups were extracted. We use the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) feature selection method to fit the machine learning classifiers. The feature selection methods and four classifiers were combined to determine the best prediction model.

resultsThe areas under the receiver-operating characteristic curves (AUCs) of the classifiers in the test dataset ranged from 0.450 to 0.932 (median: 0.721). The best score was obtained from the model in which the omics data of CEUS was analyzed in the arterial phase by random forest (RF) classification.

conclusionsA machine learning model, in which radiomics characteristics are extracted by multimodal ultrasonography, can accurately, rapidly and noninvasively identify protein changes after ablation.
