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

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is one of the most common head and neck malignancies, and the primary treatment methods are radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Radiotherapy alone, concurrent chemoradiotherapy, and induction chemotherapy combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy can be used according to different grades. Treatment options and prognoses vary greatly depending on the grade of disease in the patients. Accurate grading and risk assessment are required. Recently, radiomics has combined a large amount of invisible high-dimensional information extracted from computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or positron emission tomography with powerful computing capabilities of machine-learning algorithms, providing the possibility to achieve an accurate diagnosis and individualized treatment for cancer patients. As an effective tumor biomarker of NPC, the radiomic signature has been widely used in grading, differential diagnosis, prediction of prognosis, evaluation of treatment response, and early identification of therapeutic complications. The process of radiomic research includes image segmentation, feature extraction, feature selection, model establishment, and evaluation. Many open-source or commercial tools can be used to achieve these procedures. The development of machine-learning algorithms provides more possibilities for radiomics research. This review aimed to summarize the application of radiomics in NPC and introduce the basic process of radiomics research.
