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

backgroundDuodenal adenocarcinoma (DA) has a high recurrence rate, making the prediction of recurrence after surgery critically important.

methodsOur objective is to develop a machine learning-based model to predict the postoperative recurrence of DA. We conducted a multicenter, retrospective cohort study in China. 1830 patients with DA who underwent radical surgery between 2012 and 2023 were included. Wrapper methods were used to select optimal predictors by ten machine learning learners. Subsequently, these ten learners were utilized for model development. The model's performance was validated using three separate cohorts, and assessed by the concordance index (C-index), time-dependent calibration curve, time-dependent receiver operating characteristic curves, and decision curve analysis.

resultsAfter selecting predictors, ten feature subsets were identified. And ten feature subsets were combined with the ten machine learning learners in a permutation, resulting in the development of 100 predictive models, and the Penalized Regression + Accelerated Oblique Random Survival Forest model (PAM) exhibited the best predictive performance. The C-index for PAM was 0.882 (95% CI 0.860-0.886) in the training cohort, 0.747 (95% CI 0.683-0.798) in the validation cohort 1, 0.736 (95% CI 0.649-0.792) in the validation cohort 2, and 0.734 (95% CI 0.674-0.791) in the validation cohort 3. A publicly accessible web tool was developed for the PAM.

conclusionsThe PAM has the potential to identify postoperative recurrence in DA patients. This can assist clinicians in assessing the severity of the disease, facilitating patient follow-up, and aiding in the formulation of adjuvant treatment strategies.
