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

purposeTo develop and validate an MRI-based radiomic model for predicting overall survival (OS) in patients diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), utilizing a retrospective dataset from multiple institutions. MATERIALS AND

methodsPre-treatment MRI images of 289 GBM patients were collected. From each patient's tumor volume, 660 radiomic features (RFs) were extracted and subjected to robustness analysis. The initial prognostic model with minimum RFs was subsequently enhanced by including clinical variables. The final clinical-radiomic model was derived through repeated three-fold cross-validation on the training dataset. Performance evaluation included assessment of concordance index (C-Index), integrated area under curve (iAUC) alongside patient stratification into low and high-risk groups for overall survival (OS).

resultsThe final prognostic model, which has the highest level of interpretability, utilized primary gross tumor volume (GTV) and one MRI modality (T2-FLAIR) as a predictor and integrated the age variable with two independent, robust RFs, achieving moderately good discriminatory performance (C-Index [95% confidence interval]: 0.69 [0.62-0.75]) with significant patient stratification (

conclusionWe identified and validated a clinical-radiomic model for stratification of patients into low and high-risk groups based on OS in patients with GBM using a multicenter retrospective dataset. Future work will focus on the use of deep learning-based features, with recently standardized convolutional filters on OS tasks.
