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

objectivesThe value of adding radiotherapy (RT) is still unclear for patients with gastric cancer (GC) after D2 lymphadenectomy. The purpose of this study is to predict and compare the overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) of GC patients treated by chemotherapy and chemoradiation based on contrast-enhanced CT (CECT) radiomics.

methodsA total of 154 patients treated by chemotherapy and chemoradiation in authors' hospital were retrospectively reviewed and randomly divided into the training and testing cohorts (7:3). Radiomics features were extracted from contoured tumor volumes in CECT using the pyradiomics software. Radiomics score and nomogram with integrated clinical factors were developed to predict the OS and DFS and evaluated with Harrell's Consistency Index (C-index).

resultsRadiomics score achieved a C index of 0.721(95%CI: 0.681-0.761) and 0.774 (95%CI: 0.738-0.810) in the prediction of DFS and OS for GC patients treated by chemotherapy and chemoradiation, respectively. The benefits of additional RT only demonstrated in subgroup of GC patients with Lauren intestinal type and perineural invasion (PNI). Integrating clinical factors further improved the prediction ability of radiomics models with a C-index of 0.773 (95%CI: 0.736-0.810) and 0.802 (95%CI: 0.765-0.839) for DFS and OS, respectively.

conclusionsCECT based radiomics is feasible to predict the OS and DFS for GC patients underwent chemotherapy and chemoradiation after D2 resection. The benefits of additional RT only observed in GC patients with intestinal cancer and PNI.
