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

objectiveTo develop and evaluate a intralesional and perilesional radiomics strategy based on different machine learning model to differentiate International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grade > 2 group and ISUP ≤ 2 prostate cancers (PCa).

methods340 case of PCa patients confirmed by radical prostatectomy pathology were obtained from two hospitals. The patients were divided into training, internal validation, and external validation groups. Radiomic features were extracted from T2-weighted imaging, and four distinct radiomic feature models were constructed: intralesional, perilesional, combined tumoral and perilesional, and intralesional and perilesional image fusion. Four machine learning classifiers logistic regression (LR), random forest (RF), extra trees (ET), and multilayer perceptron (MLP) were employed for model training and evaluation to select the optimal model. The performance of each model was assessed by calculating the area under the ROC curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and F1 score.

resultsThe AUCs for the RF classifier were higher than that of LR, ET, and MLP, and was selected as the final radiomic model. The nomogram model integrating perilesional, combined intralesional and perilesional, and intralesional and perilesional image fusion had an AUC of 0.929, 0.734, 0.743 for the training, internal, and external validation cohorts, respectively, which was higher than that of the individual intralesional, perilesional, combined intralesional and perilesional, and intralesional and perilesional image fusion models.

conclusionsThe proposed nomogram established from perilesional, combined intralesional and perilesional, and intralesional and perilesional image fusion radiomic has the potential to predict the differentiation degree of ISUP PCa patients. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
