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

backgroundThis study aimed to develop and validate a hybrid model integrating clinical features, vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging (VWMRI) characteristics, and radiomic features to predict the recurrence risk of posterior circulation ischemic stroke (PCIS).

methodsThis multicenter, retrospective study included 266 PCIS patients with basilar artery atherosclerosis (Institution I: 227; Institution II: 39). Data included clinical information, VWMRI imaging features, and radiomic features. Six predictive models were constructed using the logistic regression algorithm: (1) clinical-imaging model, (2-4) single-sequence radiomics models (2D PDWI, 3D T1WI, 2D T2WI), (5) multi-sequence radiomics model, and (6) hybrid model. Model performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curves, calibration metrics, decision curve analysis across training/internal validation (8:2 split), and external validation cohorts.

resultsThe hybrid model exhibited superior predictive performance across all cohorts, with an area under the curve of 0.872 in the training cohort, 0.883 in the internal validation cohort, and 0.869 in the external validation cohort, outperforming all other models. Calibration curves demonstrated excellent fit, with mean absolute errors of 0.03/0.06. Decision curve analysis indicated significant net benefit within clinically relevant threshold ranges. Key risk factors for PCIS recurrence included involvement of perforating arteries, non-dorsal plaque location, elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high total cholesterol, a history of alcoholism, and 16 radiomic signatures.

conclusionsThe hybrid model enhances the accuracy of predicting PCIS recurrence risk. With robust performance in both internal and external validation cohorts, this model demonstrates strong clinical utility and potential to facilitate early intervention and personalized treatment strategies.
