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

Background: The combination of immunotherapy and chemoradiotherapy has become the standard therapeutic strategy for patients with unresected locally advance-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and induced treatment-related adverse effects, particularly immune checkpoint inhibitor-related pneumonitis (CIP) and radiation pneumonitis (RP). The aim of this study is to differentiate between CIP and RP by pretreatment CT radiomics and clinical or radiological parameters. Methods: A total of 126 advance-stage NSCLC patients with pneumonitis were enrolled in this retrospective study and divided into the training dataset ( Results: There was no significant difference between the training and the validation datasets for any clinicopathological parameters in this study. The radiomics signature, named Rad-score, consisting of 11 selected radiomics features, has potential ability to differentiate between CIP and RP with the empirical and α-binormal-based AUCs of 0.891 and 0.896. These results were verified in the validation dataset with AUC = 0.901 and 0.874, respectively. The clinical and radiological parameters of bilateral changes ( Conclusions: CT-based radiomics features have potential values for differentiating between patients with CIP and patients with RP. The addition of bilateral changes and sharp border produced superior model performance on classifying, which could be a useful method to improve related clinical decision-making.
