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

purposeMyocardial perfusion (MP) stress single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is an established diagnostic test for patients suspected of coronary artery disease (CAD). Meanwhile, coronary artery calcification (CAC) scoring obtained from diagnostic CT is a highly sensitive test, offering incremental diagnostic information in identifying patients with significant CAD yet normal MP stress SPECT (MPSS) scans. However, after decades of wide utilization of MPSS, CAC is not commonly reimbursed (e.g. by the CMS), nor widely deployed in community settings. We studied the potential of complementary information deduced from the radiomics analysis of normal MPSS scans in predicting the CAC score.

methodsWe collected data from 428 patients with normal (non-ischemic) MPSS (

resultsUnsupervised feature selection significantly reduced 8×487 features to 56. In univariate analysis, no feature survived the false-discovery rate (FDR) to directly correlate with CAC scores. Applying Fisher's method to the multivariate regression results demonstrated combining radiomics with the clinical features to enhance the significance of the prediction model across all cardiac segments.  Conclusions: Our standardized and statistically robust multivariate analysis demonstrated significant prediction of the CAC score for all cardiac segments when combining MPSS radiomic features with clinical features, suggesting radiomics analysis can add diagnostic or prognostic value to standard MPSS for wide clinical usage.
