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

purposeNoninvasive prediction and identification of the H3K27M mutation play an important role in optimizing therapeutic strategies and improving outcomes in gliomas. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to evaluate the performance of machine learning (ML)-based models in predicting H3K27M mutation in gliomas.

methodsLiterature records were retrieved on September 16th, 2024, in PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science. Records were screened according to the eligibility criteria, and the data from the included studies were extracted. The meta-analysis, sensitivity analysis, and meta-regression were conducted using R software.

resultsA total of 15 studies were included in our study. Our meta-analysis demonstrated a pooled AUC, sensitivity, and specificity of 0.87 (95% CI: 0.77-0.97), 92% (95% CI: 83%-96%), and 89% (95% CI: 86%-91%)), respectively. The subgroup meta-analysis revealed that despite the higher sensitivity of the deep learning (DL) models, the sensitivity is not superior to ML (P = 0.6). In contrast, the ML-based pooled specificity was significantly higher (P < 0.01). The meta-analysis revealed a 78.1 (95% CI: 33.3 - 183.5). The SROC curve indicated an AUC of 0.921, and the estimated sensitivity is 0.898 concurrent with the false positive rate of 0.126, which indicates high sensitivity with a low false positive rate.

conclusionOur systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrated that ML-based magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics models are associated with promising diagnostic performance in predicting H3K27M mutation in gliomas.
