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

purposeTo develop a noninvasive radiomics-based nomogram for identification of disagreement in pathology between endoscopic biopsy and postoperative specimens in gastric cancer (GC). MATERIALS AND

methodsThis observational study recruited 181 GC patients who underwent pre-treatment computed tomography (CT) and divided them into a training set (n = 112, single-energy CT, SECT), a test set (n = 29, single-energy CT, SECT) and a validation cohort (n = 40, dual-energy CT, DECT). Radiomics signatures (RS) based on five machine learning algorithms were constructed from the venous-phase CT images. AUC and DeLong test were used to evaluate and compare the performance of the RS. We assessed the dual-energy generalization ability of the best RS. An individualized nomogram combined the best RS and clinical variables was developed, and its discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness were determined.

resultsRS obtained with support vector machine (SVM) showed promising predictive capability with AUC of 0.91 and 0.83 in the training and test sets, respectively. The AUC of the best RS in the DECT validation cohort (AUC, 0.71) was significantly lower than that of the training set (Delong test, p = 0.035). The clinical-radiomic nomogram accurately predicted pathologic disagreement in the training and test sets, fitting well in the calibration curves. Decision curve analysis confirmed the clinical usefulness of the nomogram.

conclusionCT-based radiomics nomogram showed potential as a clinical aid for predicting pathologic disagreement status between biopsy samples and resected specimens in GC. When practicability and stability are considered, the SECT-based radiomics model is not recommended for DECT generalization. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: Radiomics can identify disagreement in pathology between endoscopic biopsy and postoperative specimen.
