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

Background: Lymph node involvement significantly impacts the survival of gastric cancer patients and is a crucial factor in determining the appropriate treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of enhanced computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics in predicting lymph node metastasis (LNM) and survival in patients with gastric cancer before surgery. Methods: Retrospective analysis of clinical data from 192 patients diagnosed with gastric carcinoma was conducted. The patients were randomly divided into a training cohort ( Results: Seven radiomic features were identified and selected, and patients were stratified into high-risk and low-risk groups using a 0.582 cut-off radiomics score. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that radiomics features, diabetes mellitus, Nutrition Risk Screening (NRS) 2002 score, and CT-reported lymph node status were significant predictors of LNM in patients with gastric cancer. A predictive nomogram model was developed by combining these predictors with the radiomics score, which accurately predicted LNM in gastric cancer patients before surgery and outperformed other models in terms of accuracy and sensitivity. The AUC values for the training and validation cohorts were 0.82 and 0.722, respectively. The high-risk and low-risk groups in both the training and validation cohorts showed significant differences in survival rates. Conclusion: The radiomics nomogram, based on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT ), is a promising non-invasive tool for preoperatively predicting LNM in gastric cancer patients and postoperative survival.
