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: This study aimed to evaluate the predictive performance of integrated clinical and CT-based radiomic models for assessing targeted therapy efficacy in advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients with EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) mutations. Materials and methods: This retrospective study included 106 EGFR-mutated advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients treated with targeted therapies at the Second Hospital of Jilin University (2020-2023). Patients were classified as responders (PR) or non-responders (SD/PD) based on RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors) 1.1 criteria, then randomly divided into training ( Results: In the pre-treatment radiomics model, the AUC, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of the training cohorts were 0.751, 0.690, 0.737, 0.639, 0.683, and 0.697; in validation cohorts, these values were 0.726, 0.656, 0.778, 0.500, 0.667, and 0.636. In the delta-radiomics model, the AUC, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of the training cohorts were 0.906, 0.865, 0.868, 0.861, 0.868, and 0.861, vs. 0.825, 0.719, 0.722, 0.714, 0.765, and 0.667 in validation. For the clinical model, the AUC, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of the training cohorts were 0.828, 0.729, 0.737, 0.722, 0.737, and 0.722, compared to 0.766, 0.750, 0.722, 0.786, 0.812, and 0.688 in validation. In the combined model, the AUC, accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of the training cohorts were 0.977, 0.946, 0.947, 0.944, 0.947, and 0.944, while in the validation cohorts, these values were 0.913, 0.781, 0.778, 0.786, 0.824, and 0.733. Conclusion: The combined model integrating delta-radiomics with clinical predictors demonstrates superior predictive performance for evaluating targeted therapy efficacy in EGFR-mutated advanced lung adenocarcinoma, significantly outperforming conventional radiomics models relying exclusively on pre-treatment imaging data.
