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

backgroundIn this study, we used computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics signatures to predict the mutation status of KRAS in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and to identify the phase of radiomics signature with the most robust and high performance from triphasic enhanced CT.

methodsThis study involved 447 patients who underwent KRAS mutation testing and preoperative triphasic enhanced CT. They were categorized into training (n = 313) and validation cohorts (n = 134) in a 7:3 ratio. Radiomics features were extracted using triphasic enhanced CT imaging. The Boruta algorithm was used to retain the features closely associated with KRAS mutations. The Random Forest (RF) algorithm was used to develop radiomics, clinical, and combined clinical-radiomics models for KRAS mutations. The receiver operating characteristic curve, calibration curve, and decision curve were used to evaluate the predictive performance and clinical usefulness of each model.

resultsAge, CEA level, and clinical T stage were independent predictors of KRAS mutation status. After rigorous feature screening, four arterial phase (AP), three venous phase (VP), and seven delayed phase (DP) radiomics features were retained as the final signatures for predicting KRAS mutations. The DP models showed superior predictive performance compared to AP or VP models. The clinical-radiomics fusion model showed excellent performance, with an AUC, sensitivity, and specificity of 0.772, 0.792, and 0.646 in the training cohort, and 0.755, 0.724, and 0.684 in the validation cohort, respectively. The decision curve showed that the clinical-radiomics fusion model had more clinical practicality than the single clinical or radiomics model in predicting KRAS mutation status.

conclusionThe clinical-radiomics fusion model, which combines the clinical and DP radiomics model, has the best predictive performance for predicting the mutation status of KRAS in CRC, and the constructed model has been effectively verified by an internal validation cohort.
