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

Preoperative MRI is one of the most important clinical results for the diagnosis and treatment of glioma patients. The objective of this study was to construct a stable and validatable preoperative T2-weighted MRI-based radiomics model for predicting the survival of gliomas. A total of 652 glioma patients across three independent cohorts were covered in this study including their preoperative T2-weighted MRI images, RNA-seq and clinical data. Radiomic features (1731) were extracted from preoperative T2-weighted MRI images of 167 gliomas (discovery cohort) collected from Beijing Tiantan Hospital and then used to develop a radiomics prediction model through a machine learning-based method. The performance of the radiomics prediction model was validated in two independent cohorts including 261 gliomas from the The Cancer Genomae Atlas database (external validation cohort) and 224 gliomas collected in the prospective study from Beijing Tiantan Hospital (prospective validation cohort). RNA-seq data of gliomas from discovery and external validation cohorts were applied to establish the relationship between biological function and the key radiomics features, which were further validated by single-cell sequencing and immunohistochemical staining. The 14 radiomic features-based prediction model was constructed from preoperative T2-weighted MRI images in the discovery cohort, and showed highly robust predictive power for overall survival of gliomas in external and prospective validation cohorts. The radiomic features in the prediction model were associated with immune response, especially tumour macrophage infiltration. The preoperative T2-weighted MRI radiomics prediction model can stably predict the survival of glioma patients and assist in preoperatively assessing the extent of macrophage infiltration in glioma tumours.
