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

The aim of the present study was to develop a radiomics nomogram to assess whether thyroid nodules (TNs) < 1 cm are benign or malignant. From March 2021 to March 2022, 156 patients were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University, and from September 2017 to March 2022, 116 patients were retrospectively collected from the Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine. These patients were divided into a training group and an external test group. A radiomics nomogram was established using multivariate logistics regression analysis using the radiomics score and clinical data, including the ultrasound feature scoring terms from the thyroid imaging reporting and data system (TI-RADS). The radiomics nomogram incorporated the correlated predictors, and compared with the clinical model (training set AUC: 0.795; test set AUC: 0.783) and radiomics model (training set AUC: 0.774; test set AUC: 0.740), had better discrimination performance and correction effects in both the training set (AUC: 0.866) and the test set (AUC: 0.866). Both the decision curve analysis and clinical impact curve showed that the nomogram had a high clinical application value. The nomogram constructed based on TI-RADS and radiomics features had good results in predicting and distinguishing benign and malignant TNs < 1 cm.
