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

backgroundLymph node (LN) staging in rectal cancer (RC) affects treatment decisions and patient prognosis. For radiologists, the traditional preoperative assessment of LN metastasis (LNM) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) poses a challenge.

aimTo explore the value of a nomogram model that combines Conventional MRI and radiomics features from the LNs of RC in assessing the preoperative metastasis of evaluable LNs.

methodsIn this retrospective study, 270 LNs (158 nonmetastatic, 112 metastatic) were randomly split into training (

resultsThe nomogram model outperformed conventional MRI and single radiomics models in evaluating LNM. In the training set, the nomogram model achieved an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.92, which was significantly higher than the AUCs of 0.82 (

conclusionThe nomogram model showed the best performance in predicting metastasis of evaluable LNs.
