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

purposeTo investigate the potential benefits of FDG PET radiomic feature maps (RFMs) for target delineation in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) radiotherapy.

methodsThirty-two NSCLC patients undergoing FDG PET/CT imaging were included. For each patient, nine grey-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) RFMs were generated. gross target volume (GTV) and clinical target volume (CTV) were contoured on CT (GTV

resultsEntropy, contrast, and Haralick correlation (H-correlation) were selected for tumor segmentation. The threshold values of 80%, 50%, and 10% have the best conformity of GTV

conclusionsFDG PET-based radiomics features in NSCLC demonstrated a promising potential for decision support in radiotherapy, helping radiation oncologists delineate tumors and generate accurate segmentation for heterogeneous region of tumors.
