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

purposeTo develop a novel clinical-spectral-computed tomography (CT) nomogram incorporating clinical characteristics and spectral CT parameters for the preoperative prediction of the WHO/ISUP pathological grade in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).

methodsSeventy-three ccRCC patients who underwent spectral CT were included in this retrospective analysis from December 2020 to June 2023. The subjects were pathologically divided into low- and high-grade groups (WHO/ISUP 1/2, n = 52 and WHO/ISUP 3/4, n = 21, respectively). Information on clinical characteristics, conventional CT imaging features, and spectral CT parameters was collected. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to create a nomogram combing clinical data and image data for preoperatively predicting the pathological grade of ccRCC, and the area under the curve (AUC) was utilized to assess the predictive performance of the model.

resultsMultivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that age, systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and the slope of the spectrum curve in the cortex phase (CP-K) were independent predictors for predicting high-grade ccRCC. The clinical-spectral-CT model exhibited high evaluation efficacy, with an AUC of 0.933 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.878-0.998; sensitivity: 0.810; specificity: 0.923). The calibration curve revealed that the predicted probability of the clinical-spectral-CT nomogram could better fit the actual probability, with high calibration. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed that the model had a good fitness (χ

conclusionThe clinical-spectral-CT nomogram has the potential to predict WHO/ISUP grading of ccRCC preoperatively.
