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

objectivesTo investigate reproducibility of quantitative measurement and radiomic features in vessel wall MRI (VW-MRI), evaluate the impact of lesion size, and identify reproducible radiomic features.

methodsThis retrospective, single-center study included 251 patients (mean age, 53 ± 12 years; 128 women) with atherosclerosis, dissection, aneurysm, moyamoya disease, and vasculitis of the intracranial arteries who underwent three-dimensional turbo spin echo T1-weighted image. Lesion thickness, volume, and signal intensity were measured, and 157 radiomic features were extracted. Intra-observer reproducibility of quantitative measurement and radiomic features was evaluated by calculating the concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) and proportion of radiomic features above the predefined CCC. The reproducibility of quantitative measurement and radiomic features according to lesion size (binary comparison and stratification into 5 and 18 groups) was evaluated.

resultsThere was an overall serial increase in CCC for thickness measurement when stratified by lesion thickness and volume. There was an overall serial increase in the median CCC for radiomic features and proportion of radiomic features with CCC > 0.85 when stratified by lesion thickness and volume. Reproducibility of radiomic features was higher in the lesions with thickness ≥ 2.5 mm (median CCC, 0.97 vs. 0.89, p < .001; proportion with CCC > 0.85, 88.5% vs. 59.6%, p < .001) and volume ≥ 50 mm

conclusionsIntra-observer reproducibility of thickness measurement and radiomic features was affected by lesion size in VW-MRI although intensity-based statistical features remained most reproducible. KEY POINTS: • There was an overall serial increase in CCC for thickness measurement when stratified by lesion size. • There was an overall serial increase in the median CCC for radiomic features and proportion of radiomic features with CCC > 0.85 when stratified by lesion size. • Intensity-based statistical features remained most reproducible in the thinnest and smallest lesions.
