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

introductionSoft tissue sarcomas (STSs) are rare malignancies. Pre-therapeutic tumour grading and assessment are crucial in making treatment decisions. Radiomics is a high-throughput method for analysing imaging data, providing quantitative information beyond expert assessment. This review highlights the role of radiomic texture analysis in STSs evaluation. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe conducted a systematic review according to the Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed/MEDLINE and Scopus using the search terms: 'radiomics [All Fields] AND ("soft tissue sarcoma" [All Fields] OR "soft tissue sarcomas" [All Fields])'. Only original articles, referring to humans, were included.

resultsA preliminary search conducted on PubMed/MEDLINE and Scopus provided 74 and 93 studies respectively. Based on the previously described criteria, 49 papers were selected, with a publication range from July 2015 to June 2023. The main domains of interest were risk stratification, histological grading prediction, technical feasibility/reproductive aspects, treatment response.

conclusionsWith an increasing interest over the last years, the use of radiomics appears to have potential for assessing STSs from initial diagnosis to predicting treatment response. However, additional and extensive research is necessary to validate the effectiveness of radiomics parameters and to integrate them into a comprehensive decision support system.
