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

objectiveTo predict microvascular invasion (MVI) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using a model based on multiphase dynamic-enhanced CT (DCE-CT) radiomics feature and hierarchical fusion of multiple classifiers.

methodsWe retrospectively collected preoperative DCE-CT images from 111 patients with pathologically confirmed HCC in Guangzhou First People's Hospital between January, 2016 and April, 2020. The volume of interest was outlined in the early arterial phase, late arterial phase, portal venous phase and equilibrium phase, and radiomics features of these 4 phases were extracted. Seven classifiers based on different algorithms were trained using the filtered feature subsets to obtain multiple base classifiers under each phase. According to the hierarchical fusion strategy, a multi-criteria decision-making-based weight assignment algorithm was used for fusing each base classifier under the same phase with the model after extracting the phase information to obtain the prediction model. The proposed model was evaluated using a 5-fold cross-validation and assessed for area under the ROC curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity. The prediction model was also compared with the fusion models using a single phase or multiple phases, models based on a single phase with a single classifier, models with different base classifier diversities, and 8 classifier models based on other ensemble methods.

resultsThe experimental results showed that the performance of the proposed model for predicting HCCMVI was optimal after incorporating the 4 phases and 7 classifiers, with AUC, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 0.828, 0.766, 0.877, and 0.648, respectively. Comparative experiments showed that this prediction model outperformed the models based on a single phase with a single classifier and other ensemble models.

conclusionThe proposed prediction model is effective for predicting MVI in HCC with superior performance to other models.
