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

Purpose: To assess the cross-software reproducibility of Computed Tomography (CT) radiomic features extracted using three widely adopted platforms (Siemens syngo.via Frontier, 3D Slicer/PyRadiomics, and mint Lesion) and to identify a subset of highly robust features suitable for multi-platform and multi- Methods: A retrospective cohort of 97 lesions (primary Results: First-order intensity features and key GLCM descriptors (e.g., Correlation, Joint Average, Sum Entropy) demonstrated the highest cross-software stability, with nearly superimposable distributions and strong concordance in clustering structure. Siemens syngo.via Frontier and 3D Slicer/PyRadiomics showed the highest agreement (mean ARI Conclusion: Despite intrinsic software differences, a consistent subset of radiomic features remains reproducible across heterogeneous extraction tools. The combined use of distribution analysis, hierarchical clustering, and the Composite Robustness Index offers a rigorous framework for evaluating cross-platform reliability. These findings support the feasibility of multi-tool radiomics and provide a validated feature set for harmonized quantitative imaging pipelines.
