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: Currently, it is still very challenging for radiologists to visually distinguish between benign and malignant ground-glass nodules (GGNs) and predict the degree of invasiveness of GGNs directly from computed tomography (CT) images. Radiomics is a newly emerging technique that can transform digital medical images into numerous quantitative features revealing pathophysiology. The present study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of intratumoral and peritumoral CT-based radiomics and the radiomics nomogram for determining the benign or malignant status of pulmonary GGNs and the invasiveness of malignant GGNs. Methods: A total of 1,372 GGNs from 1,280 patients with preoperative CT scans were included in this retrospective study. Among these, 212 GGNs were diagnosed with inflamed or infected benign lesions, 31 with atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH), 257 with adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS), 559 with minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA), and 313 with invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC). Malignant GGNs were classified according to clinical management strategies, with AAH, AIS, and MIA categorized as non-invasive lesions, and IAC as an invasive lesion. Two types of regions of interest (ROIs) were annotated from the CT images: gross tumor volume (GTV) and peritumoral volume (5 and 10 mm around the tumor, PTV Results: For malignancy predictions, the GTV + PTV Conclusions: The radiomic signatures of both GTV and PTV
