A nomogram based on CT texture features to predict the response of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer treated with chemotherapy.
Trial report in BMC gastroenterology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of computed tomography (CT) texture features in the treatment response of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer (APC) receiving palliative chemotherapy.
methodsThis study enrolled 84 patients with APC treated with first-line chemotherapy and conducted texture analysis on primary pancreatic tumors. 59 patients and 25 were randomly assigned to the training and validation cohorts at a ratio of 7:3. The treatment response to chemotherapy was evaluated according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST1.1). The patients were divided into progressive and non-progressive groups. The least absolute shrinkage selection operator (LASSO) was applied for feature selection in the training cohort and a radiomics signature (RS) was calculated. A nomogram was developed based on a multivariate logistic regression model incorporating the RS and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), and was internally validated using the C-index and calibration plot. We performed the decision curve analysis (DCA) and clinical impact curve analysis to reflect the clinical utility of the nomogram. The nomogram was further externally confirmed in the validation cohort.
resultsThe multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the RS and CA19-9 were independent predictors (P < 0.05), and a trend was found for chemotherapy between progressive and non-progressive groups. The nomogram incorporating RS, CA19-9 and chemotherapy showed favorable discriminative ability in the training (C-index = 0.802) and validation (C-index = 0.920) cohorts. The nomogram demonstrated favorable clinical utility.
conclusionThe RS of significant texture features was significantly associated with the early treatment effect of patients with APC treated with chemotherapy. Based on the RS, CA19-9 and chemotherapy, the nomogram provided a promising way to predict chemotherapeutic effects for APC patients.
