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

backgroundWe aimed to develop a machine learning model based on intratumoral and peritumoral

methodsThis retrospective study included 296 NSCLC patients, including a training cohort (N = 183), a testing cohort (N = 78), and a TCIA radiogenomic cohort (N = 35). The extreme gradient boosting algorithm was employed to develop the radiomic models.

resultsThe COMB-Radscore, which was developed by combining radiomic features from PET, CT, and PET/CT images, had the most satisfactory predictive performance with AUC (ROC) 0.894 and 0.819 in the training and testing cohorts, respectively. Survival analysis has demonstrated that COMB-Radscore is an independent prognostic factor for progression-free survival and overall survival. Moreover, COMB-Radscore demonstrates excellent dynamic predictive performance, with an AUC (ROC) of 0.857, enabling the earlier detection of potential disease progression in patients compared to radiological evaluation solely relying on tumor size. Further radiogenomic analysis showed that the COMB-Radscore was associated with infiltration abundance and functional status of CD8 + T cells.

conclusionsThe radiomic model holds promise as a precise, personalized, and dynamic decision support tool for the treatment of NSCLC patients.
