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

purposeLimitations from commercial software applications prevent the implementation of a robust and cost-efficient high-throughput cancer imaging radiomic feature extraction and perfusion analysis workflow. This study aimed to develop and validate a cancer research computational solution using open-source software for vendor- and sequence-neutral high-throughput image processing and feature extraction.

methodsThe Cancer Radiomic and Perfusion Imaging (CARPI) automated framework is a Python-based software application that is vendor- and sequence-neutral. CARPI uses contour files generated using an application of the user's choice and performs automated radiomic feature extraction and perfusion analysis. This workflow solution was validated using two clinical data sets, one consisted of 40 pelvic chondrosarcomas and 42 sacral chordomas with a total of 82 patients, and a second data set consisted of 26 patients with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) imaged at multiple points during presurgical treatment.

resultsThree hundred sixteen volumetric contour files were processed using CARPI. The application automatically extracted 107 radiomic features from multiple magnetic resonance imaging sequences and seven semiquantitative perfusion parameters from time-intensity curves. Statistically significant differences (

conclusionThe CARPI processing of two clinical validation data sets confirmed the software application's ability to differentiate between different types of tumors and help predict patient response to treatment on the basis of radiomic features. Benchmark comparison with five similar open-source solutions demonstrated the advantages of CARPI in the automated perfusion feature extraction, relational database generation, and graphic report export features, although lacking a user-friendly graphical user interface and predictive model building.
