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

backgroundGastric cancer patients are prone to lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after surgery, which is an important cause of death in postoperative patients. Therefore, it is particularly important to find a suitable way to predict the risk of postoperative occurrence of DVT in GC patients. This study aims to explore the effectiveness of using machine learning (ML) assisted radiomics to build imaging models for prediction of lower extremity DVT occurrence in GC patients after surgery.

methodsIncluded in this retrospective study were eligible patients who underwent surgery for GC. CT imaging data from these patients were collected and divided into a training set and a validation set. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm was applied to reduce the dimensionality of variables in the training set. Four machine learning algorithms, known as random forest (RF), extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), support vector machine (SVM) and naive Bayes (NB), were used to develop models for predicting the risk of lower extremity DVT occurrence in GC patients. These models were subsequently validated using the internal validation set and an external validation cohort.

resultsLASSO analysis identified 10 variables, based on which four ML models were established, which were then incorporated with the clinical characteristics to predict lower extremity DVT occurrence in the training set. Among these models, RF and NB demonstrated the highest predictive performance, achieving an AUC of 0.928, while SVM and XGBoost achieved a slightly lower AUC of 0.915 and 0.869, respectively.

conclusionML algorithms based on imaging information may prove to be novel non-invasive models for predicting postoperative occurrence of DVT in GC patients.
