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

backgroundFor pediatric patients with solid abdominal tumors, early diagnosis can guide clinical treatment decisions, and comprehensive preoperative evaluation is essential to reduce surgical risk. The aim of this study was to explore the feasibility of multiphase enhanced CT-based transformer in the early diagnosis of tumors and prediction of surgical risk events (SRE).

methodsA total of 496 pediatric patients with solid abdominal tumors were enrolled in the study. With Swin transformer, we constructed and trained two Swin-T models based on preoperative multiphase enhanced CT for personalized prediction of tumor type and SRE status. Subsequently, we comprehensively evaluated the performance of each model and constructed four benchmark models for performance comparison.

resultsThere was no significant difference in SRE status between tumor types. In the diagnostic task, areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC) of the Swin-T model were 0.987 (95 % CI, 0.973-0.997) and 0.844 (95 % CI, 0.730-0.940) in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. In predicting SRE, AUCs of the Swin-T model were 0.920 (95 % CI, 0.885-0.948) and 0.741 (95 % CI, 0.632-0.838) in the training and test cohorts, respectively. The Swin-T model achieved the best performance in both classification tasks compared to benchmark models.

conclusionThe Swin-T model is a promising tool to assist pediatricians in the differential diagnosis of abdominal tumors and in comprehensive preoperative evaluation.
