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

objectivesThe aim of this study was to non-invasively predict the visceral pleural invasion (VPI) of peripheral lung adenocarcinoma (LA) highly associated with pleura of clinical stage Ia based on preoperative chest computed tomography (CT) scanning.

methodsA total of 537 patients diagnosed with clinical stage Ia LA underwent resection and were stratified into training and validation cohorts at a ratio of 7:3. Radiomics features were extracted using PyRadiomics software following tumor lesion segmentation and were subsequently filtered through spearman correlation analysis, minimum redundancy maximum relevance, and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression analysis. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify independent predictors. A predictive model was established with visual nomogram and independent sample validation, and evaluated in terms of area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).

resultsThe independent predictors of VPI were identified: pleural attachment (p < 0.001), pleural contact angle (p = 0.019) and Rad-score (p < 0.001). The combined model showed good calibration with an AUC of 0.843 (95% confidence intervals (CI 0.796, 0.882), in contrast to 0.757 (95% CI 0.724, 0.785; DeLong's test P < 0.001) and 0.715 (95% CI 0.688, 0.746; DeLong's test P < 0.001) when only radiomics or CT semantic features were utilized separately. For validation group, the accuracy of combined prediction model was reasonable with an AUC of 0.792 (95% CI 0.765, 0.824).

conclusionOur predictive model, which integrated radiomics features of primary tumors and peritumoral CT semantic characteristics, offers a non-invasive method for evaluating VPI in patients with clinical stage Ia LA. Additionally, it provides prognostic information and supports surgeons in making more personalized treatment decisions.
