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

To explore the value of applying the MRI-based radiomic nomogram for predicting lymph node metastasis (LNM) in rectal cancer (RC). This retrospective analysis used data from 430 patients with RC from two medical centers. The patients were categorized into the LNM negative (LNM-) and LNM positive (LNM+) according to their surgical pathology results. We developed a physician model by selecting clinical independent predictors through physician assessments. Additionally, we developed deep learning radscore (DLRS) models by extracting deep features from multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) images. A nomogram model was constructed by combining the physician model and DLRS models. Among the patients, 192 (44.65%, 192/430) experienced LNM+. Six prediction models were developed, namely the physician model, three sequence models, the DLRS, and the nomogram. The physician model achieved AUC of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) values of 0.78, 0.79, and 0.7, whereas the sequence models, DLRS model, and nomogram model achieved AUC values ranging from 0.83 to 0.99. The predictive performance of the DLRS and nomogram models was superior to that of the physician model. DLRS and nomogram models based on mpMRI provided higher accuracy in predicting LNM status in patients with RC than the other models.
