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

purposeTo assess the performance of random forest (RF)-based radiomics approaches based on 3D computed tomography (CT) and clinical features to predict the types of pelvic and sacral tumors. MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 795 patients with pathologically confirmed pelvic and sacral tumors were analyzed, including metastatic tumors (n = 181), chordomas (n = 85), giant cell tumors (n =120), chondrosarcoma (n = 127), osteosarcoma (n = 106), neurogenic tumors (n = 95), and Ewing's sarcoma (n = 81). After semi-automatic segmentation, 1316 hand-crafted radiomics features of each patient were extracted. Four radiomics models (RMs) and four clinical-RMs were built to identify these seven types of tumors. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and accuracy (ACC) were used to evaluate different models.

resultsIn total, 795 patients (432 males, 363 females; mean age of 42.1 ± 17.8 years) were consisted of 215 benign tumors and 580 malignant tumors. The sex, age, history of malignancy and tumor location had significant differences between benign and malignant tumors (

conclusionsThe RF-based clinical-radiomics models provided high discriminatory performance in predicting pelvic and sacral tumor types, which could be used for clinical decision-making.
