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

Materials and Methods: The study included 100 patients with LACC who underwent definitive CCRT with IMRT/VMAT technique followed by 3D-IGABT. MRI-based contouring included T2WI and DWI images for primary tumor (GTVp) and lymph nodes (GTVn). The contours were imported to MIM software to extract first-order radiomic features. Radiomic values from pre-treatment (PreRx), pre-brachytherapy (PreBT), differences between PreRx and PreBT (Diff) radiomic and clinical factors were analyzed using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis. Predictive models of PFS, LRFS, DMFS, and OS were created along with the optimism index and calibration plot. Results: The median follow-up time was 24.5 months. The 2-year of PFS, LRFS, DMFS, and OS rates were 71, 88.6, 83.1, and 83.5 %, respectively. For all clinical outcomes, CF + RF combined from PreRx and PreBT resulted in the highest Harrell's C-index compared with the CF or RF alone. Compare with Diff models, models from PreRx and PreBT resulted in higher Harrell's C-index. The C-indexes from the CF + RF model from PreRx and PreBT for PFS, LRFS, DMFS, and OS were 0.739, 0.873, 0.830 and 0.967 with the optimism indexes of 0.312, 0.381, 0.316, and 0.242, respectively. Conclusion: Radiomic features from the first-order statistics added values to clinical factors to predict the outcomes after CCRT. The highest prediction model performance was for the combined clinical and radiomics from PreRx and PreBT.
