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

backgroundTumor deposits (TDs) are not equivalent to lymph node (LN) metastasis (LNM) but have become independent adverse prognostic factors in patients with rectal cancer (RC). Although preoperatively differentiating TDs and LNMs is helpful in designing individualized treatment strategies and achieving improved prognoses, it is a challenging task.

aimTo establish a computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics model for preoperatively differentiating TDs from LNM in patients with RC.

methodsThis study retrospectively enrolled 219 patients with RC [TDs

resultsRad-score 1 (radiomics signature of the main tumor) had an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.768 on the training dataset and 0.700 on the validation dataset. Rad-score 2 (radiomics signature of the largest peritumoral nodule) had a higher AUC (training set: 0.940; validation set: 0.918) than Rad-score 1. Clinical factors, including age, gender, location of RC, tumor markers, and radiological features of the largest peritumoral nodule, were excluded by logistic regression. Thus, the combined model was comprised of Rad-scores of 1 and 2. Considering that the combined model had similar AUCs with Rad-score 2 (

conclusionRadiomics analysis based on the largest peritumoral nodule can be helpful in preoperatively differentiating between TDs and LNM.
