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

To date, studies investigating radiomics-based predictive models have tended to err on the side of data-driven or exploratory analysis of many thousands of extracted features. In particular, spatial assessments of texture have proven to be especially adept at assessing for features of intratumoral heterogeneity in oncologic imaging, which likewise may correspond with tumor biology and behavior. These spatial assessments can be generally classified as spatial filters, which detect areas of rapid change within the grayscale in order to enhance edges and/or textures within an image, or neighborhood-based methods, which quantify gray-level differences of neighboring pixels/voxels within a set distance. Given the high dimensionality of radiomics datasets, data dimensionality reduction methods have been proposed in an attempt to optimize model performance in machine learning studies; however, it should be noted that these approaches should only be applied to training data in order to avoid information leakage and model overfitting. While area under the curve of the receiver operating characteristic is perhaps the most commonly reported assessment of model performance, it is prone to overestimation when output classifications are unbalanced. In such cases, confusion matrices may be additionally reported, whereby diagnostic cut points for model predicted probability may hold more clinical significance to clinical colleagues with respect to related forms of diagnostic testing.
