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

objectivesThis study aimed to develop a nomogram for predicting intrauterine pregnancy after an in vitro frozen embryo transfer cycle using endometrial ultrasound radiomics.

methodsA total of 211 patients who underwent ultrasound examination on the day of endometrial transformation before the frozen embryo transfer cycle were enrolled. The patients were divided into an intrauterine pregnancy group and a pregnancy failure group based on ultrasound results. Clinical characteristics and radiomic features were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses. A nomogram prediction model was established based on radiomic signatures and significant clinical factors. The model's robustness was assessed in training and external validation cohorts.

resultsNine radiomic features were selected using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), and the radiomics score (Rad-score) was calculated as the sum of each feature multiplied by the nonzero coefficient from LASSO. The area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve based on the Rad-score was 0.72, 0.65, and 0.69 in the training, validation, and combined cohorts, respectively. To improve diagnostic efficiency, the Rad-score was further integrated with clinical factors to form a novel predictive nomogram. The results indicated that the AUC increased to 0.81, 0.67, and 0.77 in the training, validation, and combined cohorts, respectively. Decision curve analysis showed that the radiomics nomogram was clinically useful.

conclusionThe radiomics and clinical predictive nomogram can effectively predict intrauterine pregnancy after in vitro frozen embryo transfer and can be further applied in clinical strategy.
