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

objectivesTo examine the correlation of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), diffusion weighted imaging (DWI), and T1 contrast enhanced (T1-CE) with Ki-67 in primary central nervous system lymphomas (PCNSL). And to assess the diagnostic performance of MRI radiomics-based machine-learning algorithms in differentiating the high proliferation and low proliferation groups of PCNSL.

methods83 patients with PCNSL were included in this retrospective study. ADC, DWI and T1-CE sequences were collected and their correlation with Ki-67 was examined using Spearman's correlation analysis. The Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used to compare the survival rates of the high proliferation and low proliferation groups. The radiomics features were extracted respectively, and the features were screened by machine learning algorithm and statistical method. Radiomics models of seven different sequence permutations were constructed. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC AUC) was used to evaluate the predictive performance of all models. DeLong test was utilized to compare the differences of models.

resultsRelative mean apparent diffusion coefficient (rADCmean) (ρ=-0.354, p = 0.019), relative mean diffusion weighted imaging (rDWImean) (b = 1000) (ρ = 0.273, p = 0.013) and relative mean T1 contrast enhancement (rT1-CEmean) (ρ = 0.385, p = 0.001) was significantly correlated with Ki-67. Interobserver agreements between the two radiologists were almost perfect for all parameters (rADCmean ICC = 0.978, 95%CI 0.966-0.986; rDWImean (b = 1000) ICC = 0.931, 95% CI 0.895-0.955; rT1-CEmean ICC = 0.969, 95% CI 0.953-0.980). The differences in PFS (p = 0.016) and OS (p = 0.014) between the low and high proliferation groups were statistically significant. The best prediction model in our study used a combination of ADC, DWI, and T1-CE achieving the highest AUC of 0.869, while the second ranked model used ADC and DWI, achieving an AUC of 0.828.

conclusionrDWImean, rADCmean and rT1-CEmean were correlated with Ki-67. The radiomics model based on MRI sequences combined is promising to distinguish low proliferation PCNSL from high proliferation PCNSL.
