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

backgroundRadiomics refers to a recent area of knowledge that studies features extracted from different imaging techniques and subsequently transformed into high-dimensional data that can be associated with biological events. Diffuse midline gliomas (DMG) are one of the most devastating types of cancer, with a median survival of approximately 11 months after diagnosis and 4-5 months after radiological and clinical progression.

methodsA retrospective study. From a database of 91 patients with DMG, only 12 had the H3.3K27M mutation and brain MRI DICOM files available. Radiomic features were extracted from MRI T1 and T2 sequences using LIFEx software. Statistical analysis included normal distribution tests and the Mann-Whitney U test, ROC analysis, and calculation of cut-off values.

resultsA total of 5760 radiomic values were included in the analyses. AUROC demonstrated 13 radiomics with statistical significance for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Diagnostic performance tests showed nine radiomics with specificity for PFS above 90% and one with a sensitivity of 97.2%. For OS, 3 out of 4 radiomics demonstrated between 80 and 90% sensitivity.

conclusionsSeveral radiomic features demonstrated statistical significance and have the potential to further aid DMG diagnostic assessment non-invasively. The most significant radiomics were first- and second-order features with GLCM texture profile, GLZLM_GLNU, and NGLDM_Contrast.
