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.

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.

Abstract

The radiomic analysis of the tissue surrounding colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) enhances the prediction accuracy of pathology data and survival. We explored the variation of the textural features in the peritumoural tissue as the distance from CRLM increases. We considered patients with hypodense CRLMs >10 mm and high-quality computed tomography (CT). In the portal phase, we segmented (1) the tumour, (2) a series of concentric rims at a progressively increasing distance from CRLM (from one to ten millimetres), and (3) a cylinder of normal parenchyma (Liver-VOI). Sixty-three CRLMs in 51 patients were analysed. Median peritumoural HU values were similar to Liver-VOI, except for the first millimetre around the CRLM. Entropy progressively decreased (from 3.11 of CRLM to 2.54 of Liver-VOI), while uniformity increased (from 0.135 to 0.199,
