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

Objective: The study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram model with clinical risk factors and radiomic features for differentiating tuberculous spondylitis (TS) from pyogenic spondylitis (PS). Methods: A total of 254 patients with TS (n = 141) or PS (n = 113) were randomly divided into training (n = 180) and validation (n = 74) groups. In addition, 43 patients (TS = 22 and PS = 21) were collected to construct a test cohort. Results: A total of 1781 features were extracted, and 12 optimal radiomic features were utilized to construct the radiomic model and determine the Rad-score. The combined clinical radiomics model revealed good discrimination performance in both the training cohort and the validation cohort (AUC = 0.891 and 0.830) and was superior to the clinical (AUC = 0.807 and 0.785) and radiomics (AUC = 0.796 and 0.811) models. The calibration curve and DCA also depicted that the nomogram had better clinical efficacy. The discriminative performance of the model is well validated in the test cohort (AUC=0.877). Conclusion: The clinical radiomic nomogram could serve as a promising predictive tool for differentiating TS from PS, which could be helpful for clinical decision-making.
