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

Radiomics and artificial intelligence (AI) are rapidly evolving, significantly transforming the field of medical imaging. Despite their growing adoption, these technologies remain challenging to approach due to their technical complexity. This review serves as a practical guide for early-career radiologists and researchers seeking to integrate radiomics into their studies. It provides practical insights for clinical and research applications, addressing common challenges, limitations, and future directions in the field. This work offers a structured overview of the essential steps in the radiomics workflow, focusing on concrete aspects of each step, including indicative and practical examples. It covers the main steps such as dataset definition, image acquisition and preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction and selection, and AI model training and validation. Different methods to be considered are discussed, accompanied by summary diagrams. This review equips readers with the knowledge necessary to approach radiomics and AI in medical imaging from a hands-on research perspective.
