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

Purpose: Glioblastoma (GBM) is aggressive and malignant. The methylation status of the Approach: We propose a deep vision graph neural network (ViG) using multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to predict the MGMT promoter methylation status noninvasively. Our model was compared to the RSNA radiogenomic classification winners. The dataset includes 583 usable patient cases. Combinations of MRI sequences were compared. Our multi-sequence fusion strategy was compared with those using single MR sequences. Results: Our best model [Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR), T1-weighted pre-contrast (T1w), T2-weighted (T2)] outperformed the winning models with a test area under the curve (AUC) of 0.628, an accuracy of 0.632, a precision of 0.646, a recall of 0.677, a specificity of 0.581, and an F1 score of 0.661. Compared to the winning models with single MR sequences, our ViG utilizing fused-MRI showed a significant improvement statistically in AUC scores, which are FLAIR ( Conclusions: Our model is superior to challenge champions. A graph representation of the medical images enabled good handling of complexity and irregularity. Our work provides an automatic secondary check pipeline to ensure the correctness of MGMT methylation status prediction.
