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: Radiomics extracts specific quantitative data from medical images and explores the characteristics of tumors by analyzing these representations and making predictions. The purpose of this paper is to review computed tomography (CT)-based radiomics articles related to prognostic outcomes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), assess their scientificity and quality by the latest radiomics quality score (RQS) 2.0 scoring criteria, and provide references for subsequent related studies. Methods: CT-based radiomics studies on NSCLC prognosis published from 1 November 2012 to 30 November 2022 in English were screened through the databases of the Cochrane Library, Embase, and PubMed. By excluding criteria such as non-original studies, small sample sizes studies, positron emission tomography (PET)/CT only, and methodological studies only, 17 studies in English were included. The RQS proposed in 2017 is a quality evaluation index specific to radiomics following the PRISMA guidelines, and the latest update of RQS 2.0 has improved the scientificity and completeness of the score. Each checkpoint either belongs to handcrafted radiomics (HCR), deep learning, or both. Results: The 17 included studies covered most treatments for NSCLC, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, surgery, radiofrequency ablation, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy, and predicted outcomes such as overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), distant metastases, and disease-free survival (DFS). The median score rate for the included studies was 28%, with a range of 12% to 44%. The quality of studies in HCR is not high, and only 4 studies have been validated with independent cohorts. Conclusions: The value of radiomics studies needs to be increased, such that clinical application will be possible, and the field of radiomics still has much room for growth. To make prediction models more reliable and stable in forecasting the prognosis of NSCLC and advancing the individualized treatment of NSCLC patients, more clinicians must participate in their development and clinical testing.
