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 evaluate the diagnostic performance of a radiomics model based on multiregional and multiparametric MRI to classify paediatric posterior fossa tumours (PPFTs), explore the contribution of different MR sequences and tumour subregions in tumour classification, and examine whether contrast-enhanced

methodsThis retrospective study of 136 PPFTs extracted 11,958 multiregional (enhanced, non-enhanced, and total tumour) features from multiparametric MRI (

resultsThe established model achieved an overall area under the curve (AUC) of 0.977 in the validation cohort. The performance of PPFTs significantly improved after replacing T1C with apparent diffusion coefficient maps added into the plain scan sequences (AUC from 0.812 to 0.917). When oedema features were added to contrast-enhancing tumour volume, the performance did not significantly improve.

conclusionThe radiomics model built by multiregional and multiparametric MRI features allows for the excellent distinction of different PPFTs and provides valuable references for the rational adoption of MR sequences. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: This study emphasized that T1C has limited added value in predicting PPFTs and should be cautiously adopted. Selecting optimal MR sequences may help guide clinicians to better allocate acquisition sequences and reduce medical costs.
