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
backgroundsNon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) prognosis remains poor despite treatment advances, and classical prognostic indicators often fall short in precision medicine. Transforming acidic coiled-coil protein-3 (TACC3) has been identified as a critical factor in tumor progression and immune infiltration across cancers, including NSCLC. Predicting TACC3 expression through radiomic features may provide valuable insights into tumor biology and aid clinical decision-making. However, its predictive value in NSCLC remains unexplored. Therefore, we aimed to construct and validate a radiomic model to predict TACC3 levels and prognosis in patients with NSCLC. MATERIALS AND
methodsGenomic data and contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) images were sourced from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA). A total of 320 cases of lung adenocarcinoma from TCGA and 122 cases of NSCLC from GEO were used for prognostic analysis. Sixty-three cases from TCIA and GEO were included for radiomics feature extraction and model development. The radiomics model was constructed using logistic regression (LR) and support vector machine (SVM) algorithms. We predicted TACC3 expression and evaluated its correlation with NSCLC prognosis using contrast-enhanced CT-based radiomics.
resultsTACC3 expression significantly influenced NSCLC prognosis. High TACC3 levels were associated with reduced overall survival, potentially mediated by immune microenvironment and tumor progression regulation. LR and SVM algorithms achieved AUC of 0.719 and 0.724, respectively, which remained at 0.701 and 0.717 after five-fold cross-validation.
conclusionContrast-enhanced CT-based radiomics can non-invasively predict TACC3 expression and provide valuable prognostic information, contributing to personalized treatment strategies.
