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

Objectives: To evaluate the predictive performance of a nomogram that integrates intratumoral and peritumoral MRI-based radiomics with clinical variables for assessing the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in patients with osteosarcoma (OS). Methods: This retrospective study included 93 patients with pathologically confirmed OS who underwent standard NAC. Intratumoral regions were manually segmented on axial T2-weighted fat-suppressed (T2WI-FS) images using ITK-SNAP, and peritumoral regions were generated semi-automatically by isotropic expansions of 2 mm, 4 mm, and 6 mm. Random forest classifiers were constructed separately for intratumoral, peritumoral, and combined intratumoral-peritumoral radiomics features. The optimal radiomics model was incorporated with significant clinical predictors to build an individualized nomogram. Model performance was assessed through the F1 score, Delong's test and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was applied to assess the model's clinical utility. Results: Multivariate logistic regression identified alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (OR = 1.003, 95% CI: 1.000 ~ 1.006, P = 0.031) and pathological fracture (PF)(OR = 2.575, 95% CI: 1.036 ~ 6.401, P = 0.042) as independent predictors of NAC response. Among all radiomics models, the Model_rad-intra + peri Conclusion: We developed and validated a nomogram that combines intratumoral and peritumoral MRI radiomics with clinical variables for predicting NAC efficacy in OS. The model demonstrated robust performance and may support early, individualized treatment evaluation and clinical decision-making in patients undergoing NAC.
