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

objectiveThe purpose of the study is to investigate the performance of radiomics-based analysis in prediction of pure ground-glass nodule (pGGN) lung adenocarcinomas invasiveness using thin-section computed tomography images.

methodsA total of 382 patients surgically resected single pGGN and pathologically confirmed were enrolled in the retrospective study. The pGGN cases were divided into two groups: the noninvasive group and the invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC) group. 330 patients were randomly assigned to the training and testing cohorts with a ratio of 7:3 (245 noninvasive lesions, 85 IAC lesions), while 52 patients (30 noninvasive lesions, 22 IAC lesions) were assigned to the external validation cohort. A model, radiomics model, and combined clinical-radiographic-radiomic model were built using the LASSO and multivariate backward stepwise regression analysis on the basis of the selected and radiomics features. The area under the curve (AUC) and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used to evaluate and compare the model performance for invasiveness discrimination among the three cohorts.

resultsThree clinical-radiographic features (including age, gender and the mean CT value) and three radiomics features were selected for model building. The combined model and radiomics model performed better than the clinical-radiographic model. The AUCs of the combined model in the training, testing, and validation cohorts were 0.856, 0.859, and 0.765, respectively. The DCA demonstrated the radiomics signatures incorporating clinical-radiographic feature was clinically useful in predicting pGGN invasiveness.

conclusionsThe proposed radiomics-based analysis incorporating the clinical-radiographic feature could accurately predict pGGN invasiveness, providing a noninvasive biomarker for the individualized and precise medical treatment of patients.
