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

Objective: This study aims to develop a machine learning (ML) model that integrates computed tomography (CT) radiomics with clinical features to predict the progression of pulmonary interstitial fibrosis in patients with coalworker pneumoconiosis (CWP). Methods: Clinical and imaging data from 297 patients diagnosed with CWP at The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical and Pharmaceutical College between December 2021 and December 2023 were analyzed. Of these patients, 170 developed pulmonary interstitial fibrosis over a 3-year follow-up and were classified as the progression group, while 127 patients showed stable conditions and were classified as the stable group. The patients were divided into a training cohort ( Results: In the training cohort, the area under the curve (AUC) for the clinical, radiomics, and joint models were 0.835, 0.879, and 0.945, respectively. In the test cohort, the AUC values for these models were 0.732, 0.750, and 0.845, respectively. The joint model demonstrated the highest predictive performance and clinical benefit in both the training and test cohorts. Conclusion: The multimodal model, combining CT radiomics and clinical features, offers an effective and accurate tool for predicting the progression of pulmonary fibrosis in CWP.
