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

This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of predicting oxygen 6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation in diffuse gliomas by developing a deep learning approach using MRI radiomics. A total of 111 patients with diffuse gliomas participated in the retrospective study (56 patients with MGMT promoter methylation and 55 patients with MGMT promoter unmethylation). The radiomics features of the two regions of interest (ROI) (the whole tumor area and the tumor core area) for four sequences, including T1 weighted image (T1WI), T2 weighted image (T2WI), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps, and T1 contrast-enhanced (T1CE) MR images were extracted and jointly fed into the residual network. Then the deep learning method was developed and evaluated with a five-fold cross-validation, where in each fold, the dataset was randomly divided into training (80%) and validation (20%) cohorts. We compared the performance of all models using area under the curve (AUC) and average accuracy of validation cohorts and calculated the 10 most important features of the best model via a class activation map. Based on the ROI of the whole tumor, the predictive capacity of the T1CE and ADC model achieved the highest AUC value of 0.85. Based on the ROI of the tumor core, the T1CE and ADC model achieved the highest AUC value of 0.90. After comparison, the T1CE combined with the ADC model based on the ROI of the tumor core exhibited the best performance, with the highest average accuracy (0.91) and AUC (0.90) among all models. The deep learning method using MRI radiomics has excellent diagnostic performance with a high accuracy in predicting MGMT promoter methylation in diffuse gliomas.
