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

The standard treatment for patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is concurrent chemoradiation. However, clinical responses are heterogeneous and generally not known until after the completion of therapy. Multiple studies have investigated imaging predictors (radiomics) for different cancer histologies, but little exists for NSCLC. The objective of this study was to develop a multivariate CT-based radiomics model to a priori predict responses to definitive chemoradiation in patients with lung adenocarcinoma.

methodsPatients diagnosed with locally advanced unresectable lung adenocarcinoma who had undergone chemoradiotherapy followed by at least one dose of maintenance durvalumab were included. The PyRadiomics Python library was used to determine statistical, morphological, and textural features from normalized patient pre-treatment CT images and their wavelet-filtered versions. A nested leave-one-out cross-validation was used for model building and evaluation.

resultsFifty-seven patients formed the study cohort. The clinical stage was IIIA-C in 98% of patients. All but one received 6000-6600 cGy of radiation in 30-33 fractions. All received concurrent platinum-based chemotherapy. Based on RECIST 1.1, 20 (35%) patients were classified as responders (R) to chemoradiation and 37 (65%) patients as non-responders (NR). A three-feature model based on a KNN

conclusionsOur results suggest that a CT-based radiomics model may be able to predict chemoradiation response for lung adenocarcinoma patients with estimated accuracies of 77-84%.
