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

objectiveTo construct and test a nomogram based on intra- and peritumoral radiomics and clinical factors for predicting malignant BiRADS 4 lesions on contrast-enhanced spectral mammography.

methodsA total of 884 patients with BiRADS 4 lesions were enrolled from two centers. For each lesion, five ROIs were defined using the intratumoral region (ITR), peritumoral regions (PTRs) of 5 and 10 mm around the tumor, and ITR plus PTRs of 5 mm and 10 mm. Five radiomics signatures were established by LASSO after selecting features. A nomogram was built using selected signatures and clinical factors by multivariable logistic regression analysis. The performance of the nomogram was assessed with the AUC, decision curve analysis, and calibration curves, and also compared with the radiomics model, clinical model, and radiologists.

resultsThe nomogram built by three radiomics signatures (constructed from ITR, 5 mm PTR, and ITR + 10 mm PTR) and two clinical factors (age and BiRADS category) showed powerful predictive ability in internal and external test sets with AUCs of 0.907 and 0.904, respectively. The calibration curves, decision curve analysis, showed favorable predictive performance of the nomogram. In addition, radiologists improved the diagnostic performance with the help of nomogram.

conclusionThe nomogram established via intratumoral and peritumoral radiomics features and clinical risk factors had the best performance in distinguishing benign and malignant BiRADS 4 lesions, which could help radiologists improve diagnostic capabilities. KEY POINTS: • Radiomics features from peritumoral regions in contrast-enhanced spectral mammography images may provide valuable information for the diagnosis of benign and malignant breast imaging reporting and data system category 4 breast lesions. • The nomogram incorporated intra- and peritumoral radiomics features and clinical variables have good application prospects in assisting clinical decision-makers.
