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

objectiveTo explore the value of dual-layer spectral computed tomography (DLCT)-based radiomics for predicting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

methodsDLCT images and clinical information from 115 patients with NSCLC were collected retrospectively and randomly assigned to a training group (n = 81) and a validation group (n = 34). A radiomics model was constructed based on the DLCT radiomic features by least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) dimensionality reduction. A clinical model based on clinical and CT features was established. A nomogram was built combining the radiomic scores (Radscores) and clinical factors. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis and decision curve analysis (DCA) were used for the efficacy and clinical value of the models assessment.

resultsA total of six radiomic features and two clinical features were screened for modeling. The AUCs of the radiomic model, clinical model, and nomogram were 0.909, 0.797, and 0.922, respectively, in the training group and 0.874, 0.691, and 0.881, respectively, in the validation group. The AUCs of the nomogram and the radiomics model were significantly higher than that of the clinical model, but no significant difference was found between them. DCA revealed that nomogram had the greatest clinical benefit at most threshold intervals.

conclusionNomogram integrating clinical factors and pretreatment DLCT radiomic features can help evaluate the EGFR mutation status of patients with NSCLC in a noninvasive way.
