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

backgroundRadiomics research based on whole tumors is limited by the unclear biological significance of radiomics features, which therefore lack clinical interpretability. PURPOSE: We aimed to determine whether features extracted from subregions defined by habitat imaging, reflecting tumor heterogeneity, could identify breast cancer patients who will benefit from neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), to optimize treatment.

methods143 women with stage II-III breast cancer were divided into a training set (100 patients, 36 with pathologic complete response [pCR]) and a test set (43 patients, 16 with pCR). Patients underwent 3-T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before NAC. With the pathological results as the gold standard, we used the training set to build models for predicting pCR based on whole-tumor radiomics (Model

resultsIn the prediction of pCR, Model

conclusionThe habitat model we established from first-order features combined with conventional MRI features and IHC findings accurately predicted pCR before NAC. This model can facilitate decision-making during individualized treatment for breast cancer.
