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

Accurate assessment of thyroid cartilage invasion is crucial for treatment decision-making and prognosis evaluation in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). This study aimed to compare the performance of the radiomics and deep learning (DL) models for predicting thyroid cartilage invasion in LSCC patients, and evaluate prognostic value of the optimal predictive model. A total of 418 pathologically confirmed LSCC patients from two centers were enrolled and divided into a training cohort (n = 247), an internal validation cohort (n = 110), and an external validation cohort (n = 61). Models were developed based on venous-phase CT images and compared with two radiologists. A nomogram incorporating the optimal model and clinical risk factors was also constructed. Additionally, the prognostic value of the optimal model was assessed regarding disease-free survival (DFS). The 2D DL model showed better performance in predicting thyroid cartilage invasion, and the corresponding nomogram integrating 2D DL signature and clinical risk factors achieved the highest AUCs. However, no differences in AUCs were found in the external validation cohort (p > 0.05 for all). Additionally, the 2D DL signature and clinical N stage were independent predictors of DFS. The 2D DL-based nomogram demonstrated satisfactory predictive performance for thyroid cartilage invasion and prognosis in patients with LSCC.
