Magnetic resonance imaging-based radiomics signature for predicting preoperative staging of esophageal cancer.

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.
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
backgroundEsophageal cancer (EC) is one of the most prevalent malignant gastrointestinal tumors; accurate prediction of EC staging has high significance before treatment.
aimTo explore a rational radiomic approach for predicting preoperative staging of EC based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
methodsThis retrospective study included 210 patients with pathologically confirmed EC, randomly divided into a primary cohort (
resultsA total of 214 radiomics features were extracted. Following feature dimension reduction, the T1WI and T2WI sequences were retained, and 14 features from the T1WI sequence and 3 features from the T2WI sequence were selected to construct radiomics signatures. The radiomics signature combining T2WI with T1WI-Gd demonstrated superior discrimination of stages in the validation cohort (AUC: 0.851; SEN: 0.697; SPE: 0.793), which outperformed single-sequence models (AUC: 0.779, 0.844; SEN: 0.667, 0.636; SPE: 0.8, 0.8).
conclusionMRI-based radiomics signatures could identify EC stages before treatment, which could serve as a noninvasive and quantitative approach aiding personalized treatment planning.
