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

objectiveWe aimed to develop and validate a radiomics nomogram and determine the value of radiomic features from lymph nodes (LNs) for predicting pathological complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) in patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).

methodsIn this multicenter retrospective study, eligible participants who had undergone NCRT followed by radical esophagectomy were consecutively recruited. Three radiomics models (model

resultsBetween October 2011 and December 2018, 116 patients were included in the training cohort. Between June 2015 and October 2020, 51 and 27 patients from two independent hospitals were included in validation cohorts 1 and 2, respectively. The radiomics model

conclusionsRadiomic features from LNs could provide additional value for predicting pCR in ESCC patients, and the radiomics nomogram provided an accurate prediction of pCR, which might aid treatment decision.
