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

purposeThis study aimed to evaluate CT- and MRI-based radiomic features of ovarian mature and immature teratomas (MTs and ITs) and to investigate the differences between low- and high-grade ITs.

methodsA total of 41 patients aged ≤ 30 years with histopathologically confirmed ovarian MT and 23 patients with ovarian IT who underwent preoperative MRI were included. Among them, 51 (31 MTs and 20 ITs) underwent preoperative CT. We investigated the differences in visual findings by radiologists and radiomics analysis not only between MTs and ITs but also between low- (grade 1) and high-grade (grades 2-3) ITs.

resultsMultiple CT and MRI findings, along with radiomic features, showed significant differences between MTs and ITs (P < 0.05). Although the maximum diameter of nodular fat was greater in low-grade ITs than in high-grade ITs (P < 0.05), no other visual CT or MRI findings showed significant differences between low- and high-grade ITs. In contrast, several MRI-based radiomic features derived from fat-suppressed T1-weighted images, along with selected CT-based radiomic features, showed significant differences between low- and high-grade ITs (P < 0.05).

conclusionVisual assessments by radiologists and radiomics analysis effectively distinguished MTs from ITs. However, differentiating between low- and high-grade ITs using visual assessment alone was difficult. Radiomics analysis-particularly MRI-based features from fat-suppressed T1-weighted images-showed potential as a noninvasive approach for grading ITs, although further validation is required.
