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

backgroundThis study aimed to develop and validate 2-Dimensional (2D) and 3-Dimensional (3D) radiomics signatures based on contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) images for preoperative prediction of the thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) risk and compare the predictive performance with conventional CT features. PATIENTS AND

methods149 TET patients were retrospectively enrolled from January 2016 to December 2018, and divided into high-risk group (B2/B3/TCs, n = 103) and low-risk group (A/AB/B1, n = 46). All patients were randomly assigned into the training (n = 104) and testing (n = 45) set. 14 conventional CT features were collected, and 396 radiomic features were extracted from 2D and 3D CECT images, respectively. Three models including conventional, 2D radiomics and 3D radiomics model were established using multivariate logistic regression analysis. The discriminative performances of the models were demonstrated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.

resultsIn the conventional model, area under the curves (AUCs) in the training and validation sets were 0.863 and 0.853, sensitivity was 78% and 55%, and specificity was 88% and 100%, respectively. The 2D model yielded AUCs of 0.854 and 0.834, sensitivity of 86% and 77%, and specificity of 72% and 86% in the training and validation sets. The 3D model revealed AUC of 0.902 and 0.906, sensitivity of 75% and 68%, and specificity of 94% and 100% in the training and validation sets.

conclusionsRadiomics signatures based on 3D images could distinguish high-risk from low-risk TETs and provide complementary diagnostic information.
