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

purposeThis study aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of combining MRI hand-crafted (HC) radiomics features with deep transfer learning (DTL) in identifying sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) using various machine learning (ML) models.

methodsA retrospective analysis of 132 patients (50 with SCC, 42 with NHL, 40 with ACC) was conducted. The dataset was split 80/20 into training and testing cohorts. HC radiomics and DTL features were extracted from T2-weighted, ADC, and contrast-enhanced T1-weighted MRI images. ResNet50, a pre-trained convolutional neural network, was used for DTL feature extraction. LASSO regression was applied to select features and create radiomic signatures. Seven ML models were evaluated for classification performance.

resultsThe radiomic signature included 24 hC and 8 DTL features. The support vector machine (SVM) model achieved the highest accuracy (92.6%) in the testing cohort. The SVM model's ROC analysis showed macro-average and micro-average AUC values of 0.98 and 0.99. AUCs for ACC, NHL, and SCC were 0.99, 0.97, and 1.00. K-nearest neighbors (KNN) and XGBoost also showed AUC values above 0.90.

conclusionCombining MRI-based HC radiomics and DTL features with the SVM model enhanced differentiation between sinonasal SCC, NHL, and ACC.
