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

objectivesTo evaluate the value of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based deep learning radiomic nomogram (DLRN) for distinguishing intracranial solitary fibrous tumors (ISFTs) from angiomatous meningioma (AMs) and predicting overall survival (OS) for ISFT patients.

methodsIn total, 1090 patients from Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, and 131 from Lanzhou University Second Hospital were categorized as primary cohort (PC) and external validation cohort (EVC), respectively. An MRI-based DLRN was developed in PC to distinguish ISFTs from AMs. We validated the DLRN and compared it with a clinical model (CM) in EVC. In total, 149 ISFT patients were followed up. We carried out Cox regression analysis on DLRN score, clinical characteristics, and histological stratification. Besides, we evaluated the association between independent risk factors and OS in the follow-up patients using Kaplan-Meier curves.

resultsThe DLRN outperformed CM in distinguishing ISFTs from AMs (area under the curve [95% confidence interval (CI)]: 0.86 [0.84-0.88] for DLRN and 0.70 [0.67-0.72] for CM, p < 0.001) in EVC. Patients with high DLRN score [per 1 increase; hazard ratio (HR) 1.079, 95% CI: 1.009-1.147, p = 0.019] and subtotal resection (STR) [per 1 increase; HR 2.573, 95% CI: 1.337-4.932, p = 0.004] were associated with a shorter OS. A statistically significant difference in OS existed between the high and low DLRN score groups with a cutoff value of 12.19 (p < 0.001). There is also a difference in OS between total excision (GTR) and STR groups (p < 0.001).

conclusionThe proposed DLRN outperforms the CM in distinguishing ISFTs from AMs and can predict OS for ISFT patients. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: The proposed MRI-based deep learning radiomic nomogram outperforms the clinical model in distinguishing ISFTs from AMs and can predict OS of ISFT patients, which could guide the surgical strategy and predict prognosis for patients. KEY POINTS: Distinguishing ISFTs from AMs based on conventional radiological signs is challenging. The DLRN outperformed the CM in our study. The DLRN can predict OS for ISFT patients.
