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

Background: Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant brain tumor in children and is known for substantial heterogeneity. MB is classified into low/average- and high-risk; however, improving risk-stratification remains one of the biggest challenges in MB. Enriching risk-stratification offers potential treatment intensification for high-risk MB while decreasing treatment sequalae in low-risk MB through treatment de-escalation. This work presents a new radiomics-based medulloblastoma prognostic (RaMP) score that quantifies the tumor heterogeneity by analyzing routine clinical imaging. The hypothesis is that radiomic (computational) features can analyze the complex behavior and heterogeneity of MB tumors, allowing for segregating high-risk tumors from the ones with low risk. Methods: One hundred and nineteen MRI scans for MB patients were collected from 3 institutions (Site 1: Results: RaMP outperformed clinical standard-of-care assessment when employed for risk-stratification. For instance, when using Sites 1 and 3 for training and Site 2 for testing, significant differences were observed across edema and the tumor habitat with Conclusions: Our work shows the promise of radiomic analysis in risk-stratification and predicting outcomes in pediatric MB.
