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

purposeThis study aims to develop a CT-based radiomics approach for identifying the uncommon epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

methodsThis study involved 223 NSCLC patients (107 with uncommon EGFR mutation-positive and 116 with uncommon EGFR mutation-negative). A total of 1,269 radiomics features were extracted from the non-contrast-enhanced CT images after image segmentation and preprocessing. Support vector machine algorithm was used for feature selection and model construction. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was applied to evaluate the performance of the radiomics signature, the clinicopathological model, and the integrated model. A nomogram was developed and evaluated by using the calibration curve and decision curve analysis.

resultsThe radiomics signature demonstrated a good performance for predicting the uncommon EGFR mutation in the training cohort (area under the curve, AUC = 0.802; 95% confidence interval, CI: 0.736-0.858) and was verified in the validation cohort (AUC = 0.791, 95% CI: 0.642-0.899). The integrated model combined radiomics signature with clinicopathological independent predictors exhibited an incremental performance compared with the radiomics signature or the clinicopathological model. A nomogram based on the integrated model was developed and showed good calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow test,

conclusionRadiomics signature combined with the clinicopathological features can predict uncommon EGFR mutation in NSCLC patients.
