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

purposeTumor heterogeneity may be responsible for poor response to treatment and adverse prognosis in women with HGOEC. The purpose of this study is to propose an automated classification system that allows medical experts to automatically identify intratumoral areas of different cellularity indicative of tumor heterogeneity.

methodsTwenty-two patients underwent dedicated pelvic MRI, and a database of 11,095 images was created. After image processing techniques were applied to align and assess the cancerous regions, two specific imaging series were used to extract quantitative features (radiomics). These features were employed to create, through artificial intelligence, an estimator of the highly cellular intratumoral area as defined by arbitrarily selected apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) cut-off values (ADC < 0.85 × 10

resultsThe average recorded accuracy of the proposed automated classification system was equal to 0.86.

conclusionThe proposed classification system for assessing highly cellular intratumoral areas, based on radiomics, may be used as a tool for assessing tumor heterogeneity.
