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

backgroundWe aimed to construct a clinical-radiomics nomogram to predict disease-free survival (DFS) and the added survival benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) for node-negative, early-stage (I-II) lung adenocarcinoma (ADC).

methodsIn this retrospective study including 310 patients from two independent cohorts, the CT-derived radiomics features were selected by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator Cox regression to generate a radiomics signature associated with DFS. The radiomics signature was incorporated to construct a clinical-radiomics nomogram along with the independent clinical risk predictors. The model performance was evaluated with reference to discrimination quantified by Harrell concordance index (C-index), integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) and net reclassification index (NRI), calibration and clinical utility. The risk score (RS) for clinical-radiomics nomogram was calculated. The association between ACT and survival benefit was assessed in high and low RS subgroup.

resultsThe clinical-radiomics nomogram achieved the highest C-index of 0.822 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.769, 0.876] in training cohort and 0.802 (95% CI: 0.716, 0.888) in validation cohort. The incorporation of radiomics signature into clinical-radiomics nomogram showed an incremental benefit over clinical nomogram according to the improved NRI and IDI. The calibration curves and decision curve analysis further verified the clinical utility of clinical-radiomics nomogram. Further, patients with high RS based on clinical-radiomics nomogram were more prone to benefit from ACT.

conclusionsThe clinical-radiomics nomogram approach can feasibly conduct risk prediction and have potential to identify the beneficiaries of ACT among patients with node-negative, early-stage ADC, which might serve as a helpful tool in informing therapeutic decision-making.
