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

Objective: To develop a machine learning-based clinical and/or radiomics model for predicting the primary site of brain metastases using multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Materials and methods: A total of 202 patients (87 males, 115 females) with 439 brain metastases were retrospectively included, divided into training sets (brain metastases of lung cancer [BMLC] Results: The radiomics model differentiated BMGiT from BMLC (13 features, AUC = 0.915 ± 0.071) or BMBC (20 features, AUC = 0.954 ± 0.064) with high accuracy, while the classification between BMLC and BMBC was unsatisfactory (11 features, AUC = 0.729 ± 0.114). However, the combined model incorporating radiomics and clinical features improved the predictive performance, with AUC values of 0.965 for BMLC vs. BMBC, 0.991 for BMLC vs. BMGiT, and 0.935 for BMBC vs. BMGiT. Conclusion: The machine learning-based radiomics model demonstrates significant potential in distinguishing the primary sites of brain metastases, and may assist screening of primary tumor when brain metastasis is suspected whereas history of primary tumor is absent.
