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.

Abstract

backgroundMore than 40% of patients with resectable esophageal squamous cell cancer (ESCC) achieve pathological complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT), who have favorable prognosis and may benefit from an organ-preservation strategy. Our study aims to develop and validate a machine learning model based on MR radiomics to accurately predict the pCR of ESCC patients after nCRT.

methodsIn this retrospective multicenter study, eligible patients with ESCC who underwent baseline MR (T2-weighted imaging) and nCRT plus surgery were enrolled between September 2014 and September 2022 at institution 1 (training set) and between December 2017 and August 2021 at institution 2 (testing set). Models were constructed using machine learning algorithms based on clinical factors and MR radiomics to predict pCR after nCRT. The area under the curve (AUC) and cutoff analysis were used to evaluate model performance.

resultsA total of 155 patients were enrolled in this study, 82 in the training set and 73 in the testing set. The radiomics model was constructed based on two radiomics features, achieving AUCs of 0.968 (95%CI 0.933-0.992) in the training set and 0.885 (95%CI 0.800-0.958) in the testing set. The cutoff analysis resulted in an accuracy of 82.2% (95%CI 72.6-90.4%), a sensitivity of 75.0% (95%CI 58.3-91.7%), and a specificity of 85.7% (95%CI 75.5-96.0%) in the testing set.

conclusionA machine learning model based on MR radiomics was developed and validated to accurately predict pCR after nCRT in patients with ESCC.
