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

Purpose: Machine learning models based on radiomic feature extraction from clinical imaging data provide effective and interpretable means for clinical decision making. This pilot study evaluated whether radiomics features in baseline optical coherence tomography (OCT) images of eyes with pigment epithelial detachment (PED) associated with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) can predict treatment response to as-needed anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy. Methods: Thirty-nine eyes of patients with PED undergoing anti-VEGF therapy were included. All eyes underwent a loading dose followed by as-needed therapy. OCT images at baseline, month 3, and month 6 were analyzed. Images were manually separated into non-responding, recurring, and responding eyes based on the presence or absence of subretinal fluid at month 6. PED radiomics features were then extracted from each image and images were classified as responding or recurring using a machine learning classifier applied to the radiomics features. Results: Linear discriminant analysis classification of baseline features as responsive versus recurring resulted in classification performance of 64.0% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.63-0.65), area under the curve (AUC = 0.78, 95% CI = 0.72-0.82), sensitivity 0.79 (95% CI = 0.63-0.87), and specificity 0.58 (95% CI = 0.50-0.67). Further analysis of features in recurring eyes identified a significant shift toward non-responding mean feature values over 6 months. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate the use of radiomics features as predictors for treatment response to as-needed anti-VEGF therapy. Our study demonstrates the potential for radiomics feature in clinical decision support for personalizing anti-VEGF therapy. Translational Relevance: The ability to use PED texture features to predict treatment response facilitates personalized clinical decision making.
