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

purposeTo explore the development and validation of automated machine learning (AutoML) models for

methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 175 elderly (≥ 60 years) DLBCL patients diagnosed between March 2015 and March 2023 at two medical centers, with a total of 1010 lesions. The baseline PET imaging-based radiomics features of the training cohort were processed using AutoML model AutoGluon to generate a radiomics score (radscore) and predict treatment response at the lesion and patient levels. Furthermore, a multivariable logistic analysis was used to design and evaluate a multivariable model in the training and validation cohorts.

resultsROC curve analysis showed that the radscore generated by AutoML exhibited higher accuracy in predicting treatment response at the lesion level compared to metabolic parameters (SUVmax, MTV, and TLG) in both the training group (AUC: 0.791, 0.542, 0.667, 0.651, respectively) and the validation group (AUC: 0.712, 0.616, 0.639, 0.657, respectively). Multivariable logistic analysis indicated that NCCN-IPI (OR = 5.427, 95% CI: 1.163-25.317), BCL-2 (OR = 3.714, 95% CI: 1.406-9.816), TMTV (OR = 4.324, 95% CI: 1.095-17.067), and avg-radscore (OR = 3.176, 95% CI: 1.313-7. 686) were independent predictors of treatment response. The multivariable model comprising NCCN-IPI, BCL-2, TMTV, and avg-radscore outperformed conventional models and clinical-pathological models in predicting treatment response. (P<0.05).

conclusionThe radscore generated by AutoML can predict the treatment response of elderly DLBCL patients, potentially aiding in clinical decision-making.
