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

introductionThe aim of this analysis is to construct a combined model that integrates radiomics, clinical risk factors, and machine learning algorithms to diagnose osteoporosis in patients and explore its potential in clinical applications. MATERIALS AND

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 616 lumbar spine. Radiomics features were extracted from the computed tomography (CT) scans and anteroposterior and lateral X-ray images of the lumbar spine. Logistic regression (LR), support vector machine (SVM), and random forest (RF) algorithms were used to construct radiomics models. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was employed to select the best-performing model. Clinical risk factors were identified through univariate logistic regression analysis (ULRA) and multivariate logistic regression analysis (MLRA) and utilized to develop a clinical model. A combined model was then created by merging radiomics and clinical risk factors. The performance of the models was evaluated using ROC curve analysis, and the clinical value of the models was assessed using decision curve analysis (DCA).

resultsA total of 4858 radiomics features were extracted. Among the radiomics models, the SVM model demonstrated the optimal diagnostic capabilities and accuracy, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.958 (0.9405-0.9762) in the training cohort and 0.907 (0.8648-0.9492) in the test cohort. Furthermore, the combined model exhibited an AUC of 0.959 (0.9412-0.9763) in the training cohort and 0.910 (0.8690-0.9506) in the test cohort.

conclusionThe combined model displayed outstanding ability in diagnosing osteoporosis, providing a safe and efficient method for clinical decision-making.
