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

backgroundsDelayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is a significant complication following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), leading to poor prognosis and high mortality. This study developed a non-contrast CT (NCCT)-based radiomics nomogram for early DCI prediction in aSAH patients.

methodsThree hundred seventy-seven aSAH patients were included in this retrospective study. Radiomic features from the baseline CTs were extracted using PyRadiomics. Feature selection was conducted using t-tests, Pearson correlation, and Lasso regression to identify those features most closely associated with DCI. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify independent clinical and demographic risk factors. Eight machine learning algorithms were applied to construct radiomics-only and radiomics-clinical fusion nomogram models.

resultsThe nomogram integrated the radscore and three clinically significant parameters (aneurysm and aneurysm treatment and admission Hunt-Hess score), with the Support Vector Machine model yielding the highest performance in the validation set. The radiomics model and nomogram produced AUCs of 0.696 (95% CI: 0.578-0.815) and 0.831 (95% CI: 0.739-0.923), respectively. The nomogram achieved an accuracy of 0.775, a sensitivity of 0.750, a specificity of 0.795, and an F1 score of 0.750.

conclusionThe NCCT-based radiomics nomogram demonstrated high predictive performance for DCI in aSAH patients, providing a valuable tool for early DCI identification and formulating appropriate treatment strategies. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
