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

backgroundIn this single-center study, we aimed to analyze texture features of primary uterine lesions on 18F-FDG PET/CT to predict lymph node metastases.

methodsTotally, 157 (mean age: 62 ± 10.2 years) patients were included in the analysis. Histopathological examination results were considered as the standard reference for nodal involvement. On 18F-FDG PET/CT images, only the primary tumor was segmented. SUVmax, SUVmean, SUVpeak, MTV, and TLG of primary uterine lesions were calculated for analyses. For texture analysis first, second, and higher-order texture features were calculated.

resultsMean diameter of primary uterine lesions was calculated as 35± 18.1 mm. Lymph node metastases were detected in 19% of patients in histopathological examination of surgical materials. While 26 patients had pelvic lymph node metastases, 19 patients had additional paraaortic lymph node metastases. On radiomics analysis for 20 features, a significant difference was found between patients with and without lymph node metastasis. With using data mining methods GLZLM ZLNU, EntropyGLCM, Entropyhisto, GLRLM LRHGE, GLZLM HGZE, GLZLM SZHGE, GLRLM HGRE, GLRLM SRHGE were found significant radiomics features to predict lymph node metastasis with a diagnostic accuracy of 0.8. DISCUSSION: The radiomics analysis of intratumoral heterogeneity is a promising method for improving triage of the patients for lymph node dissection in endometrial carcinoma.
