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

backgroundThe centroid radii model (CRM)-defined as the distance from aneurysm surface points to the centroid-has shown promise in distinguishing ruptured from unruptured intracranial aneurysms by capturing morphological characteristics. We propose a novel application of radiomics for analyzing CRM texture and patterns, extending radiomics beyond medical imaging-based analysis.

methodsThree-dimensional rotational angiographic volumes from 187 aneurysms (49 ruptured) were analyzed. Aneurysm surfaces were segmented and converted to uniform triangular meshes. Established size and shape metrics (size, height, aspect ratio, height/width, size ratio, and nonsphericity) and CRM values were computed. CRM data were projected onto a unit sphere and mapped to grayscale images for radiomics analysis. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to evaluate the established features and 93 radiomics features for the accuracy of rupture status discrimination.

resultsRuptured aneurysms exhibited greater CRM texture complexity and heterogeneity, with higher entropy, variance, contrast, and gray-level nonuniformity. These aneurysms had localized high CRM intensities and widespread low CRM regions, as well as reduced pattern uniformity. All established morphological features were significantly elevated in ruptured aneurysms. Multivariate regression using radiomics features resulted in an area under the curve of 0.86 (specificity 0.81, sensitivity 0.78), compared with conventional features (area under the curve 0.82, specificity 0.75, sensitivity 0.81).

conclusionRadiomics-based histogram and texture analysis of surface CRM offers strong rupture status discrimination power, which compares favorably with established size and shape features. This novel use of radiomics on surface-based features provides additional insight into the characteristics of ruptured aneurysms and may have potential utility in risk stratification.
