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

(1) Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adults, with an aggressive disease course that requires accurate prognosis for individualized treatment planning. This study aims to develop and evaluate a radiomics-based machine learning (ML) model to estimate overall survival (OS) for patients with GBM using pre-treatment multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). (2) Methods: The MRI data of 865 patients with GBM were assessed, comprising 499 patients from the UPENN-GBM dataset and 366 patients from the UCSF-PDGM dataset. A total of 14,598 radiomic features were extracted from T1, T1 with contrast, T2, and FLAIR MRI sequences using PyRadiomics. The UPENN-GBM dataset was used for model development (70%) and internal validation (30%), while the UCSF-PDGM dataset served as an external test set. The NGBoost Survival model was developed to generate continuous probability estimates as well as predictions for 6-, 12-, 18-, and 24-month OS. (3) Results: The NGBoost Survival model successfully predicted survival, achieving a C-index of 0.801 on internal validation and 0.725 on external validation. For 6-month OS, the model attained an AUROC of 0.791 (95% CI: 0.742-0.832) and 0.708 (95% CI: 0.654-0.748) for internal and external validation, respectively. (4) Conclusions: The radiomics-based ML model demonstrates potential to improve the prediction of OS for patients with GBM.
