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

backgroundClassifying and characterizing pulmonary lesions are critical for clinical decision-making process to identify optimal therapeutic strategies. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a radiomics nomogram for distinguishing between benign and malignant pulmonary lesions based on robust features derived from diffusion images. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe study was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, we prospectively collected 30 patients with pulmonary nodule/mass who underwent twice EPI-DWI scans. The robustness of features between the two scans was evaluated using the concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) and dynamic range (DR). In the second phase, 139 patients who underwent pulmonary DWI were randomly divided into training and test sets in a 7:3 ratio. Maximum relevance minimum redundancy, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator, and logistic regression were used for feature selection and construction of radiomics signatures. Nomograms were established incorporating clinical features, radiomics signatures, and ADC

resultsAmong the features extracted from DWI and ADC images, 42.7% and 37.4% were stable (both CCC and DR ≥ 0.85). The AUCs for distinguishing pulmonary lesions in the test set for clinical model, ADC, ADC radiomics signatures, and DWI radiomics signatures were 0.694, 0.802, 0.885, and 0.767, respectively. The nomogram exhibited the best differentiation performance (AUC = 0.923). The decision curve showed that the nomogram consistently outperformed ADC value and clinical model in lesion differentiation.

conclusionOur study demonstrates the robustness of radiomics features derived from lung DWI. The ADC radiomics nomogram shows superior clinical net benefits compared to conventional clinical models or ADC values alone in distinguishing solitary pulmonary lesions, offering a promising tool for noninvasive, precision diagnosis in lung cancer.
