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

Background: Prostate cancer often progresses to castration-resistant disease despite initial response to endocrine therapy, necessitating better predictive tools like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics. This study aimed to develop a predictive model using MRI radiomics and clinicopathological factors to assess tumor progression risk after endocrine therapy in prostate cancer patients, and to create a nomogram for evaluating progression-free survival (PFS). Methods: A total of 136 prostate cancer patients receiving endocrine therapy were retrospectively analyzed and randomly split into training (n=95) and internal validation (n=41) sets (7:3). A radiomics-clinical nomogram was developed and validated internally and externally (n=52). Performance was assessed for discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility. Results: Independent predictors for tumor progression included time to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) nadir, Gleason score, tumor T stage, and bone metastasis. The combined prediction model achieved C-index values of 0.884, 0.839, and 0.795 in training, internal validation, and external validation sets, respectively. Calibration curves indicated accuracy; decision curve analysis confirmed clinical utility. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that using a nomogram score of 79.44 as the cutoff effectively stratified prostate cancer patients into high-risk (>79.44) and low-risk (≤79.44) groups, with significantly shorter PFS in the high-risk group (log-rank test, P<0.001). Conclusions: The model incorporating MRI radiomics features with clinicopathological factors effectively predicts progression risk post-endocrine therapy in prostate cancer patients, aiding personalized clinical decisions to improve prognosis.
