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

backgroundMicrosatellite instability (MSI) is detected in approximately 15% of colorectal carcinoma (CRC) patients, which has emerged as a predictor of patient response to adjuvant chemotherapy. Rectal carcinoma (RC) is the most common type of CRC. Therefore, prediction of MSI status of RC is significant for personalized medication. The purpose of this article was to develop an integrative model that combines clinical characteristics and computed tomography-based (CT-based) tumoral/peritumoral radiomics to predict the MSI status in RC.

methodsA cohort of 788 RCs with 97 high-MSI status (MSI-H) and 691 microsatellite stable status (MSS) were enrolled between January 2015 and January 2021 in this retrospective study. Clinical characteristics were recorded, and CT-based tumoral/peritumoral radiomic features were calculated after segmenting volume of interests. The patients were randomly divided into training and validation sets in a 7:3 proportion. Logistic models of single tumoral radiomics (LM-tRadio), peritumoral radiomics (LM-ptRadio), and combined tumoral/peritumoral radiomics (LM-Radio) were constructed to distinguish MSI-H from MSS, and a relevant radiomic score was calculated. An integrative nomogram (LM-Nomo) was developed, including significant clinical characteristics and CT-based tumoral/peritumoral radiomics. The area under receiver operator curve (AUC) was calculated to evaluate the efficacy of prediction.

resultsThe AUCs of LM-Radio were 0.785 (95%CI 0.732-0.837) in the training set and were 0.628 (95%CI 0.528-0.723) in the validation set, which were higher than those of LM-tRadio and LM-ptRadio. The AUCs of single LM-ptRadio were slightly higher than those of LM-tRadio (0.724 vs. 0.708 in the training set, 0.613 vs. 0.602 in the validation set). The LM-Nomo containing carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), hypertension, and CT-based tumoral/peritumoral radiomic score showed the highest AUCs of 0.796 (95%CI 0.748-0.843) in the training set and 0.679 (95%CI 0.588-0.771) in the validation set in predicting the MSI-H status of RC.

conclusionThe AUCs of LM-ptRadio were slightly higher than LM-tRadio to evaluate the MSI-H status of RC. The LM-Nomo, which includes significant clinical characteristics and CT-based tumoral/peritumoral radiomics score, demonstrated the best performance in predicting MSI-H status of RC.
