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

purposeThis study aimed to develop a radiomics nomogram based on grayscale ultrasound (US) to distinguish triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) from non-triple-negative breast cancer (NTNBC) prior to surgery.

methodsA retrospective analysis of 454 breast carcinoma patients confirmed by pathology was conducted, with 317 patients in the training dataset (59 with TNBC) and 137 patients in the validation dataset (27 with TNBC). Clinical information, conventional US features, and radiomics features were collected, and the Radscore model was constructed after feature selection. Independent risk factors were identified using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. The nomogram model was assessed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, calibration curve, decision curve analysis (DCA), net reclassification improvement (NRI) and integrated discrimination improvement (IDI).

resultsTumor shape, margin, and calcification were independent risk factors in the clinical prediction model. Additionally, 16 radiomics features were selected to construct the Radscore model out of a total of 474 extracted features. The radiomics nomogram model, which incorporated tumor shape, margin, calcification, and Radscore, achieved an AUC value of 0.837 in the training dataset and 0.813 in the validation dataset, outperforming both the Radscore and clinical models in terms of predictive performance. The significant improvement of NRI and IDI indicated that the Radscore may be useful biomarkers for TNBC.

conclusionThe US-based radiomics nomogram showed satisfactory preoperative prediction of TNBC.
