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

backgroundThe objective of this study is to explore the value of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) radiomics models based on enhanced computed tomography (CT) images in predicting BRCA gene mutations in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer.

methodsThe clinical and imaging data of 106 patients with ovarian cancer confirmed by surgery and pathology were retrospectively analyzed and genetic testing was performed. Radiomics features extracted from the 2D and 3D regions of interest of the patients' primary tumor lesions were selected in the training set using the maximum correlation and minimum redundancy method. Then, the best features were selected through Lasso tenfold cross-validation. Feature subsets were employed to establish a radiomics model. The model's performance was evaluated via area under the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and its clinical validity was assessed by using the model's decision curve.

resultsOn the validation set, the area under the curve values of the 2D, 3D, and 2D + 3D combined models were 0.78 (0.61-0.96), 0.75 (0.55-0.92), and 0.82 (0.61-0.96), respectively. However, the DeLong test P values between the three pairs of models were all > 0.05. The decision curve analysis showed that the radiomics model had a high net benefit across all high-risk threshold probabilities.

conclusionsThe three radiomics models can predict the BRCA gene mutation in ovarian cancer, and there were no statistically significant differences between the prediction performance of the three models.
