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

Assessing MGMT promoter methylation is crucial for determining appropriate glioblastoma therapy. Previous studies have focused on intratumoral regions, overlooking the peritumoral area. This study aimed to develop a radiomic model using MRI-derived features from both regions. We included 96 glioblastoma patients randomly allocated to training and testing sets. Radiomic features were extracted from intratumoral and peritumoral regions. We constructed and compared radiomic models based on intratumoral, peritumoral, and combined features. Model performance was evaluated using the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC). The combined radiomic model achieved an AUC of 0.814 (95% CI: 0.767-0.862) in the training set and 0.808 (95% CI: 0.736-0.859) in the testing set, outperforming models based on intratumoral or peritumoral features alone. Calibration and decision curve analyses demonstrated excellent model fit and clinical utility. The radiomic model incorporating both intratumoral and peritumoral features shows promise in differentiating MGMT methylation status, potentially informing clinical treatment strategies for glioblastoma.
