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

backgroundPreoperative assessment of lymphovascular invasion(LVI) of rectal cancer has very important clinical significance. However, accurate preoperative imaging evaluation of LVI is highly challenging because the resolution of MRI is still limited. Relatively few studies have focused on prediction of LVI of rectal cancer with the tool of radiomics, especially in patients with negative statue of MRI-based extramural vascular invasion (mrEMVI).The purpose of this study was to explore the preoperative predictive value of biparametric MRI-based radiomics features for LVI of rectal cancer in patients with the negative statue of mrEMVI.

methodsThe data of 146 cases of rectal adenocarcinoma confirmed by postoperative pathology were retrospectively collected. In the cases, 38 had positive status of LVI. All patients were examined by MRI before the operation. The biparametric MRI protocols included T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). We used whole-volume three-dimensional method and two feature selection methods, minimum redundancy maximum relevance (mRMR) and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), to extract and select the features. Logistics regression was used to construct models. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and DeLong's test were used to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the radiomics based on T2WI and DWI and the combined models.

resultsRadiomics models based on T2WI and DWI had good predictive performance for LVI of rectal cancer in both the training cohort and the validation cohort. The AUCs of the T2WI model were 0.87 and 0.87, and the AUCs of the DWI model were 0.94 and 0.92. The combined model was better than the T2WI model, with AUCs of 0.97 and 0.95. The predictive performance of the DWI model was comparable to that of the combined model.

conclusionsThe radiomics model based on biparametric MRI, especially DWI, had good predictive value for LVI of rectal cancer. This model has the potential to facilitate the clinical recognition of LVI in rectal cancer preoperatively.
