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

purposeThe study aims to investigate the predictability of the radiological response in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCC) patients undergoing Yttrium-90 transarterial radioembolization (TARE) with a combined model built on dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based radiomics and clinical features.

methodsThirty-six naive iCC patients who underwent TARE were included in this study. The tumor segmentation was performed on the axial T2-weighted (T2W) without fat suppression, axial T2W with fat suppression, and axial T1-weighted (T1W) contrast-enhanced (CE) sequence in equilibrium phase (Eq). At the sixth month MRI follow-up, all patients were divided into responders and non-responders according to the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors. Subsequently, a radiomics score (rad-score) and a combined model of the rad-score and clinical features for each sequence were generated and compared between the groups.

resultsThirteen (36.1%) patients were considered responders, and the remaining 23 (63.9%) were non-responders. Responders exhibited significantly lower rad-scores than non-responders (

conclusionRadiomics models created by pre-treatment MRIs can predict the radiological response to Yttrium- 90 TARE in iCC patients with high accuracy. Combining radiomics with clinical features could increase the power of the test. Large-scale studies of multi-parametric MRIs with internal and external validations are needed to determine the clinical value of radiomics in iCC patients.
