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

purposeAlthough a risk stratification strategy for neuroblastoma (NB) has been proposed, precise and convenient clinical risk estimation remains challenging. This study aimed to investigate the correlation of contrast computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics with NB risk stratification.

methodsPatients with NB (n = 289) from two centers (244 and 45 patients in the training/testing and external validation cohorts, respectively) were divided into nonhigh- and high-risk groups. A total of 1648 radiomics features were extracted from the arterial phase, and the radiomics signature was constructed using rad scores, whereas the clinical model was established based on clinical factors. Further, a combined nomogram was developed based on the clinical factors and radiomics signatures. Finally, receiver operating characteristic curve and decision curve analyses (DCA) were used to assess the performance of the established models.

resultsSeventeen radiomics features were used to construct the radiomics signature. A significant difference was observed in the rad score between the two groups in the training (0.540 vs. 0.704, P < 0.001) and testing (0.563 vs. 0.969, P < 0.001) cohorts. The nomogram showed a higher area under the curve (AUC) in the training (AUC = 0.87), testing (AUC = 0.83), and external validation (AUC = 0.84) cohorts than other models. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test and calibration curves indicated that the nomogram fit perfectly. DCA demonstrated that the clinical-radiomics nomogram was more beneficial.

conclusionsContrast CT-based radiomics shows correlation with COG risk stratification of NB. Radiomics features combined with clinical factors showed the best performance, which may improve the management of patients with NB.
