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

Objective: To develop an interpretable ensemble learning model for predicting dual positivity of pathological grading and lymphovascular space invasion (HGVI) in cervical cancer (CC) by integrating multiple machine learning algorithms, fusion strategies, and multi-sequence MR radiomics. Methods: A total of 242 CC patients who underwent preoperative MRI were retrospectively enrolled and randomly divided into a training set (n = 169) and a test set (n = 73). Volumes of interest were manually delineated on intratumoral and peritumoral (3 mm and 5 mm) regions across three MR sequences of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), T1-weighted imaging (T Results: Compared with the eight models, the ENMLR achieved superior performance in the training set, which was robustly validated in the test set via 1,000 Bootstrap resamples (AUC: 0.858, 95% CI: 0.762-0.932). In the test set, the ENMLR demonstrated good accuracy (0.7260), a Brier score of 0.1523, and enhanced clinical net benefit across a wide threshold range (10-90%). Correlation analyses revealed positive agreement between intratumoral and peritumoral radiomics (Spearman's r: 0.15, 0.21, 0.41, and 0.29; all P < 0.05). RCS analysis further identified a significant nonlinear relationship between ADC sequence-derived intratumoral radiomics scores and an increased incidence of HGVI double positivity (Non-linear P < 0.05; Overall P < 0.05), with a notable inflection point. SHAP analysis identified ADC_peritumoral_3mm and the Xgboost classifier as the top contributors to the fusion model. Conclusions: By integrating diverse learning algorithms with multi-sequence MR radiomics (intratumoral and peritumoral) and serum biomarkers, the ENMLR demonstrates robust discriminative performance for predicting HGVI double positivity in CC. Nonetheless, further multicenter prospective studies are warranted to validate these findings.
