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

(1) Background: Acute oral mucositis is the most common side effect for nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients receiving radiotherapy. Improper or delayed intervention to severe AOM could degrade the quality of life or survival for NPC patients. An effective prediction method for severe AOM is needed for the individualized management of NPC patients in the era of personalized medicine. (2) Methods: A total of 242 biopsy-proven NPC patients were retrospectively recruited in this study. Radiomics features were extracted from contrast-enhanced CT (CECT), contrast-enhanced T1-weighted (cT1WI), and T2-weighted (T2WI) images in the primary tumor and tumor-related area. Dosiomics features were extracted from 2D or 3D dose-volume histograms (DVH). Multiple models were established with single and integrated data. The dataset was randomized into training and test sets at a ratio of 7:3 with 10-fold cross-validation. (3) Results: The best-performing model using Gaussian Naive Bayes (GNB) (mean validation AUC = 0.81 ± 0.10) was established with integrated radiomics and dosiomics data. The GNB radiomics and dosiomics models yielded mean validation AUC of 0.6 ± 0.20 and 0.69 ± 0.14, respectively. (4) Conclusions: Integrating radiomics and dosiomics data from the primary tumor area could generate the best-performing model for severe AOM prediction.
