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

objectivesAlthough neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy has been widely applied in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), predicting treatment response remains a challenge. We used pretreatment multimodal CT to explore deep learning-based immunochemotherapy response image biomarkers.

methodsThis study retrospectively obtained non-contrast enhanced and contrast enhancedbubu CT scans of patients with NSCLC who underwent surgery after receiving neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy at multiple centers between August 2019 and February 2023. Deep learning features were extracted from both non-contrast enhanced and contrast enhanced CT scans to construct the predictive models (LUNAI-uCT model and LUNAI-eCT model), respectively. After the feature fusion of these two types of features, a fused model (LUNAI-fCT model) was constructed. The performance of the model was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value. SHapley Additive exPlanations analysis was used to quantify the impact of CT imaging features on model prediction. To gain insights into how our model makes predictions, we employed Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping to generate saliency heatmaps.

resultsThe training and validation datasets included 113 patients from Center A at the 8:2 ratio, and the test dataset included 112 patients (Center B n=73, Center C n=20, Center D n=19). In the test dataset, the LUNAI-uCT, LUNAI-eCT, and LUNAI-fCT models achieved AUCs of 0.762 (95% CI 0.654 to 0.791), 0.797 (95% CI 0.724 to 0.844), and 0.866 (95% CI 0.821 to 0.883), respectively.

conclusionsBy extracting deep learning features from contrast enhanced and non-contrast enhanced CT, we constructed the LUNAI-fCT model as an imaging biomarker, which can non-invasively predict pathological complete response in neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy for NSCLC.
