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

Prognostication is critical for accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment in endometrial cancer (EC). We employed radiogenomics to integrate preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI, n = 487 patients) with histologic-, transcriptomic- and molecular biomarkers (n = 550 patients) aiming to identify aggressive tumor features in a study including 866 EC patients. Whole-volume tumor radiomic profiling from manually (radiologists) segmented tumors (n = 138 patients) yielded clusters identifying patients with high-risk histological features and poor survival. Radiomic profiling by a fully automated machine learning (ML)-based tumor segmentation algorithm (n = 336 patients) reproduced the same radiomic prognostic groups. From these radiomic risk-groups, an 11-gene high-risk signature was defined, and its prognostic role was reproduced in orthologous validation cohorts (n = 554 patients) and aligned with The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) molecular class with poor survival (copy-number-high/p53-altered). We conclude that MRI-based integrated radiogenomics profiling provides refined tumor characterization that may aid in prognostication and guide future treatment strategies in EC.
