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

Background: Drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) is a severe public health threat and burden worldwide. This study seeks to develop and validate both independent and combined radiomic models using pulmonary cavity (PC), tree-in-bud sign (TIB), total lung lesions (TLL), and residual pulmonary parenchyma (RPP) to evaluate their effectiveness in predicting DR-TB. Methods: We recruited 306 confirmed active pulmonary tuberculosis cases from two hospitals, comprising 142 drug-resistant and 164 drug-sensitive cases. Patients were assigned to five training and testing cohorts: PC ( Results: We extracted 10, 2, 10, 3, and 9 radiomic features from PC, TIB, TLL, RPP, and the combined model, respectively. The combined model achieved AUC values of 0.886 (95% CI: 0.827-0.945) in the training set and 0.865 (95% CI: 0.764-0.966) in the testing set. It slightly surpassed the PC model in the training set (0.886 vs. 0.850, Conclusion: The newly defined and developed RPP model and the combined model demonstrated robust performance in identifying DR-TB, highlighting the potential of CT-based radiomic models as effective non-invasive tools for DR-TB prediction.
