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

Radiomics aims to support clinical decisions through its workflow, which is divided into: (i) target identification and segmentation, (ii) feature extraction, (iii) feature selection, and (iv) model fitting. Many radiomics tools were developed to fulfill the steps mentioned above. However, to date, users must switch different software to complete the radiomics workflow. To address this issue, we developed a new free and user-friendly radiomics framework, namely matRadiomics, which allows the user: (i) to import and inspect biomedical images, (ii) to identify and segment the target, (iii) to extract the features, (iv) to reduce and select them, and (v) to build a predictive model using machine learning algorithms. As a result, biomedical images can be visualized and segmented and, through the integration of Pyradiomics into matRadiomics, radiomic features can be extracted. These features can be selected using a hybrid descriptive-inferential method, and, consequently, used to train three different classifiers: linear discriminant analysis, k-nearest neighbors, and support vector machines. Model validation is performed using k-fold cross-Validation and k-fold stratified cross-validation. Finally, the performance metrics of each model are shown in the graphical interface of matRadiomics. In this study, we discuss the workflow, architecture, application, future development of matRadiomics, and demonstrate its working principles in a real case study with the aim of establishing a reference standard for the whole radiomics analysis, starting from the image visualization up to the predictive model implementation.
