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

backgroundGenomic traits are commonly observed across cancer types, yet current pan-cancer analyses primarily focus on shared molecular features, often overlooking potential imaging characteristics across cancers.

methodsThis retrospective study included 793 patients from the I-SPY1 breast cancer cohort (n = 145), Duke-UPenn glioblastoma (GBM) cohort (n = 452), and an external validation cohort (n = 196). We developed and validated multiparametric MRI-based radiomic and deep learning models to extract both cancer-type common (CTC) and cancer type-specific (CTS) features associated with the prognosis of both cancers. The biological relevance of the identified CTC features was investigated through pathway analysis.

resultsSeven CTC radiomic features were identified, demonstrating superior survival prediction compared to cancer type-specific (CTS) features, with AUCs of 0.876 for breast cancer and 0.732 for GBM. The deep feature model stratified patients into distinct survival groups (p = 0.00029 for breast cancer; p = 0.0019 for GBM), with CTC features contributing more than CTS features. Independent validation confirmed their robustness (AUC: 0.784). CTC-associated genes were enriched in key pathways, including focal adhesion, suggesting a role in breast cancer brain metastasis.

conclusionOur study reveals pan-cancer imaging phenotypes that predict survival and provide biological insights, highlighting their potential in precision oncology.
