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

backgroundPerineural invasion (PNI), as a key pathological feature of tumor spread, has emerged as an independent prognostic factor in patients with rectal cancer (RC). The preoperative stratification of RC patients according to PNI status is beneficial for individualized treatment and improved prognosis. However, the preoperative evaluation of PNI status is still challenging.

aimTo establish a radiomics model for evaluating PNI status preoperatively in RC patients.

methodsThis retrospective study enrolled 303 RC patients in a single institution from March 2018 to October 2019. These patients were classified as the training cohort (

resultsOne hundred and forty-four of the 303 patients were eventually found to be PNI-positive. Clinical factors including CT-reported T stage (cT), N stage (cN), and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level were independent risk factors for predicting PNI preoperatively. We established Rad-score by logistic regression analysis after selecting features with the L1-based method. The combined model was developed by combining Rad-score with cT, cN, and CEA. The combined model showed good performance to predict PNI status, with an AUC of 0.828 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.774-0.873] in the training cohort and 0.801 (95%CI: 0.679-0.892) in the validation cohort. For comparison of the models, the combined model achieved a higher AUC than the clinical model (cT + cN + CEA) achieved (

conclusionThe combined model incorporating Rad-score and clinical factors can provide an individualized evaluation of PNI status and help clinicians guide individualized treatment of RC patients.
