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

objectivesThis study aimed to develop and validate a novel strain elastography (SE) radiomics nomogram for diagnosing breast cancer (BC) by analyzing intratumoral and peritumoral regions.

methodsA cohort of 322 patients, comprising 217 from hospital #1 (06/2021-05/2023) and 105 from hospital #2 (06/2022-05/2023) with breast lesions, was enrolled. Radiomic features were extracted from intratumoral and peritumoral (0-1 mm, 1-2 mm, 2-3 mm) regions on strain elastography images. Significant features were selected using Mann-Whitney U test, Spearman's correlation coefficient, and LASSO logistic regression. A radiomic model was constructed utilizing these features, followed by the development of a radiomic nomogram integrating optimal features.

resultsThe intratumoral radiomic model exhibited an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.774 (95% CI: 0.626-0.922) in the internal testing set. Combining peritumoral radiomics, the intratumoral & peritumoral_0-1 mm radiomic model emerged as the optimal model with an AUC of 0.884 (95% CI: 0.766-0.998) in the internal testing set, signifying improved BC identification. The optimal model demonstrated an AUC of 0.841 (95% CI: 0.762-0.920) in the external testing set, indicating robustness and generalization.

conclusionsThe radiomic model incorporating intratumoral & peritumoral_0-1 mm radiomic features shows promise in diagnosing BC, aiding in devising effective clinical treatment strategies.
