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

purposeLung cancer has significant genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity, leading to poor prognosis. Radiomic features have emerged as promising predictors of the tumor phenotype. However, the role of underlying information surrounding the cancer remains unclear. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe conducted a retrospective study of 508 patients with NSCLC from three institutions. Radiomics models were built using features from six tumor regions and seven classifiers to predict three prognostically significant tumor phenotypes. The models were evaluated and interpreted by the mean area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) under nested cross-validation and Shapley values. The best-performing predictive models corresponding to six tumor regions and three tumor phenotypes were identified for further comparative analysis. In addition, we designed five experiments with different voxel spacing to assess the sensitivity of the experimental results to the spatial resolution of the voxels.

resultsOur results demonstrated that models based on 2D, 3D, and peritumoral region features yielded mean AUCs and 95% confidence intervals of 0.759 and [0.747-0.771] for lymphovascular invasion, 0.889 and [0.882-0.896] for pleural invasion, and 0.839 and [0.829-0.849] for T-staging in the testing cohort, which was significantly higher than all other models. Similar results were obtained for the model combining the three regional features at five voxel spacings.

conclusionOur study revealed the predictive role of the developed methods with multi-regional features for the preoperative assessment of prognostic factors in NSCLC. The analysis of different voxel spacing and model interpretability strengthens the experimental findings and contributes to understanding the biological significance of the radiological phenotype.
