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 this study was to assess the diagnostic ability of radiomics combined with multiple machine learning algorithms to differentiate pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) from pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (pNET). This retrospective study included a total of 238 patients diagnosed with PDAC or pNET. Using specialized software, radiologists manually mapped regions of interest (ROIs) from computed tomography images and automatically extracted radiomics features. A total of 45 discriminative models were built by five selection algorithms and nine classification algorithms. The performances of the discriminative models were assessed by sensitivity, specificity and the area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) in the training and validation datasets. Using the combination of Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (GBDT) as the selection algorithm and Random Forest (RF) as the classification algorithm, the optimal diagnostic ability with the highest AUC was presented in the training and validation datasets. The sensitivity, specificity and AUC of the model were 0.804, 0.973 and 0.971 in the training dataset and 0.742, 0.934 and 0.930 in the validation dataset, respectively. The combination of radiomics and multiple machine learning algorithms showed the potential ability to discriminate PDAC from pNET. We suggest that multi-algorithm modeling should be considered for similar studies in the future rather than using a single algorithm empirically.
