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

objectiveTo develop a radiomics nomogram based on multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) to pre-operatively predict lymph-vascular space invasion (LVSI) in patients with early-stage cervical cancer.

methodsThis retrospective study included 233 consecutive patients with Stage IB-IIB cervical cancer. According to the ratio of 2:1, 154 patients and 79 patients were randomly assigned to the primary and validation cohorts, respectively. Features with intraclass and interclass correlation coefficient (ICCs) greater than 0.75 were selected for radiomics features. The significant features for predicting LVSI were selected using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm based on the primary cohort. The rad-score for each patient was constructed via a linear combination of selected features that were weighted by their respective coefficients. The radiomics nomogram was developed using multivariable logistic regression analysis by incorporating the rad-score and clinical risk factors.

resultsA total of 19 radiomics features and 3 clinical risk factors were selected. The rad-score exhibited a good performance in discriminating LVSI with a C-index of 0.76 and 0.81 in the primary and validation cohorts, respectively. The radiomics nomogram also exhibited a good discriminating performance in two cohorts (C-index of 0.78 and 0.82). The calibration curve of the radiomics nomogram demonstrated no significant differences was found between prediction and observation outcomes for the probability of LVSI in two cohorts (

conclusionThe nomogram and rad-score could be used conveniently and individually to predict LVSI in patients with early-stage cervical cancer and facilitate the treatment decision for clinician and patients. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: The nomogram could pre-operatively predict LVSI in early-stage cervical cancer.
