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 explore the value of delta radiomics from cerebral CT perfusion (CTP) in predicting hemorrhagic transformation after intravenous thrombolysis for acute cerebral infarction (HT-ACI). Methods: Clinical and imaging data of 419 patients with acute cerebral infarction who underwent CTP after treatment between November 2016 and August 2024 were retrospectively collected. Based on post-thrombolysis cranial CT or MRI results, patients were divided into the HT-ACI group (114 cases) and the non-HT-ACI group (305 cases). The dataset was split into a training set and a test set in a 7:3 ratio based on time nodes. In the training set, regions of interest (ROI) within the cerebral infarction area on CTP images were delineated using 3D slicer software, and delta radiomic features were extracted. Hemodynamic parameters such as cerebral blood volume (CBV), cerebral blood flow (CBF), and time to peak (TTP) were obtained using CTP techniques. These were combined with baseline patient data (e.g., age, sex, NIHSS score, medical history) to establish various models for predicting HT-ACI through multivariable logistic regression analysis. The predictive performance of the models was compared using DeLong curves, clinical net benefit was assessed using decision curves, and model predictions were validated using the XGboost algorithm. These results were then validated in the test set, and a nomogram and calibration curve were constructed for clinical application. Results: In the training set, significant differences were observed between the two groups in NIHSS score, pre-illness usually use of anticoagulants, age, infarction size, ADC difference, CBF, and Delta radscore ( Conclusion: The combined model established based on delta radiomics from CTP may provide early insights into the hemodynamic status of acutely ischemic brain tissue, holding significant clinical importance for predicting HT-ACI. This method could offer a powerful imaging reference for clinical decision-making in patients with ACI, helping to reduce the risk of HT-ACI and improve patient outcomes.
