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.

Abstract

Predicting the histopathology of residual retroperitoneal masses (RMMs) before post-chemotherapy retroperitoneal lymph node dissection in metastatic nonseminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCTs) can guide individualized treatment and minimize complications. Previous single approach-based models perform poorly in validation. Herein, we introduce a machine learning model that evolves from a single-dimensional tumor diameter to incorporate high-dimensional radiomic features, with its effectiveness assessed using the macro-average area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs). In addition, we utilize more precise and specific microRNAs (miRNAs), not common clinical indicators, to construct an integrated radiomics-miRNA predictive system, achieving an AUC of 0.91 (0.80-0.99) in the prospective test set. We further develop a web-based dynamic nomogram for swift and precise calculation of the histopathological probabilities of RMMs based on radiomic scores and serum miRNA levels. The radiomics-miRNA integrated system offers a promising tool to select personalized treatments for patients with metastatic NSGCT.
