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

backgroundNon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a highly heterogeneous malignancy characterized by altered glucose metabolism. Integration of PET/CT radiomics with glucose metabolism-related genomic signatures could provide a more comprehensive approach for prognosis and treatment guidance.

methodsRadiomics features were extracted from PET/CT images of 156 NSCLC patients from The Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) database, and glucose metabolism-related gene signatures were obtained from TCGA and GEO databases. We developed a multimodal radiogenomics prognostic model (RGC-score) using least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression, combining PET/CT radiomics, glucose metabolism-related genes (GMR-genes). Functional enrichment analysis, immune infiltration assessment, and drug sensitivity analysis were performed to investigate the biological significance of glucose metabolism-related genes (GMR-genes).

resultsThe RGC-score model effectively stratified NSCLC patients into distinct high- and low-risk groups with significant differences in survival outcomes (P < 0.001), demonstrating excellent predictive performance (1-year AUC = 0.907, 5-year AUC = 0.968).GMR-genes are mainly involved in the process of metabolic remodeling of tumors, which is closely related to the immune microenvironment (especially CD8

conclusionThe RGC-score robustly predicts NSCLC prognosis and informs metabolic-immune interactions for personalized therapy. Limitations include the retrospective design and modest validation cohort size, necessitating prospective multicenter trials.
