The superior value of radiomics to sonographic assessment for ultrasound-based evaluation of extrathyroidal extension in papillary thyroid carcinoma: a retrospective study.
Article in Radiology and oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundExtrathyroidal extension was related with worse survival for patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma. For its preoperative evaluation, we measured and compared the predicting value of sonographic method and ultrasonic radiomics method in nodules of papillary thyroid carcinoma. PATIENTS AND
methodsData from 337 nodules were included and divided into training group and validation group. For ultrasonic radiomics method, a best model was constructed based on clinical characteristics and ultrasonic radiomic features. The predicting value was calculated then. For sonographic method, the results were calculated using all samples.
resultsFor ultrasonic radiomics method, we constructed 9 models and selected the extreme gradient boosting model for its highest accuracy (0.77) and area under curve (0.813) in validation group. The accuracy and area under curve of sonographic method was 0.70 and 0.569. Meanwhile. We found that the top-6 important features of xgboost model included no clinical characteristics, all of whom were high-dimensional radiomic features.
conclusionsThe study showed the superior value of ultrasonic radiomics method to sonographic method for preoperative detection of extrathyroidal extension in papillary thyroid carcinoma. Furthermore, high-dimensional radiomic features were more important than clinical characteristics.
