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

purposeThis study aims to develop a diagnostic model that combines computed tomography (CT) images and radiomic features to differentiate indeterminate small (5-20 mm) solid pulmonary nodules (SSPNs).

methodsThis study retrospectively enrolled 413 patients who had had SSPNs surgically removed and histologically confirmed between 2017 and 2019. The SSPNs included solid malignant pulmonary nodules (n = 210) and benign pulmonary nodules (n = 203). The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator was used for radiomic feature selection, and random forest algorithms were used for radiomic model construction. The clinical model and nomogram were established using univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses combined with clinical symptoms, subjective CT findings, and radiomic features. The area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the performance of the models.

resultsThe AUC for the clinical model was 0.77 in the training cohort [n = 289; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.71-0.82;

conclusionThe radiomic nomogram derived from clinical features, subjective CT signs, and the Rad-score can potentially identify the risk of indeterminate SSPNs and aid in the patient's preoperative diagnosis.
