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

aimTo investigate clinical and computed tomography (CT) radiomics nomogram for preoperative differentiation of lung adenocarcinoma (LAC) from lung tuberculoma (LTB) in patients with pulmonary solitary solid nodule (PSSN). MATERIALS AND

methodsA total of 313 patients were recruited in this retrospective study, including 96 pathologically confirmed LAC and 217 clinically confirmed LTB. Patients were assigned at random to training set (n = 220) and validation set (n = 93) according to 7:3 ratio. A total of 2,589 radiomics features were extracted from each three-dimensional (3D) lung nodule on thin-slice CT images and radiomics signatures were built using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression. The predictive nomogram was established based on radiomics and clinical features. Decision curve analysis was performed with training and validation sets to assess the clinical usefulness of the prediction model.

resultsA total of six clinical features were selected as independent predictors, including spiculated sign, vacuole, minimum diameter of nodule, mediastinal lymphadenectasis, sex, and age. The radiomics nomogram of lung nodules, consisting of 15 selected radiomics parameters and six clinical features showed good prediction in the training set [area under the curve (AUC), 1.00; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.99-1.00] and validation set (AUC, 0.99; 95% CI, 0.98-1.00). The nomogram model that combined radiomics and clinical features was better than both single models (p < 0.05). Decision curve analysis showed that radiomics features were beneficial to clinical settings.

conclusionThe radiomics nomogram, derived from unenhanced thin-slice chest CT images, showed favorable prediction efficacy for differentiating LAC from LTB in patients with PSSN.
