A radiomics nomogram utilizing T2-weighted MRI for accurate diagnosis of rectocele.

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
backgroundRectocele (RC) is a common pelvic organ prolapse (POP) that can cause obstructed defecation and reduced quality of life. Magnetic resonance defecography (MRD) offers high-resolution, radiation-free visualization of pelvic floor anatomy but relies on time-consuming, observer-dependent manual measurements. Our research constructs a nomogram model incorporating intra-ROI and habitat radiomics features to improve MRD-based RC diagnosis.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 222 MRD patients (155 training, 67 testing). Clinical features were selected via univariate and multivariate logistic regression. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) algorithm was applied, and features with non-zero coefficients were retained to construct the radiomics signatures. A support vector machine (SVM) learning algorithm was used to construct the intra-ROI combined with the habitat radiomics model. Clinical features were then combined with radiomics features using a multivariable logistic regression algorithm to generate a clinical-radiomics nomogram. Model performance was assessed using receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and decision curve analysis (DCA).
resultsThe combined intra-ROI and habitat radiomics model outperformed intra-ROI or habitat radiomics models alone, achieving areas under the curve (AUCs) of 0.913 (training) and 0.805 (testing). The nomogram integrating radiomics features and gender showed strong calibration and discrimination, with AUCs of 0.930 and 0.852 in the training and testing cohorts, respectively.
conclusionsOur findings suggest that integrating intra-ROI with habitat radiomics features can aid RC assessment. While the clinical-radiomics nomogram showed the highest internal performance, this single-center retrospective study lacks external validation and includes a relatively small test cohort. Therefore, risk of model overfitting cannot be excluded. Prospective, multi-center validation and larger cohorts are warranted before routine clinical deployment.
