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

This study develops a DXA-based radiomic model to predict fracture risk in elderly T2DM patients. The model, validated with AUCs up to 0.774, 0.759, and 0.739 for vertebral, hip, and major osteoporotic fractures respectively, offers a potential tool for personalized fracture risk assessment and management in clinical settings. PURPOSE: To develop and validate a novel radiomic model based on dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) lumbar spine and hip images for predicting fracture risk in elderly type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients.

methodsA training cohort of 294 elderly T2DM patients (October 2019 to August 2022) and a validation cohort from the ABCD cohort were utilized. Radiomics features were extracted from baseline DXA images, and a radiomics model was constructed using Cox proportional hazards regression. A user-friendly radiomics score (Radscore) was derived for practical application.

resultsIn the derivation set, 105 (35.7%) patients had radiographically confirmed vertebral fractures. In the validation set with a median 5-year follow-up, 3.2% experienced incident clinical vertebral fracture, 2.4% incident hip fracture, and 7.0% incident major osteoportic fractures (MOFs). Thirteen features were selected to develop the radiomics model. The AUC for predicting radiographically confirmed vertebral fracture in the derivation set was 0.830 (95% CI: 0.783-0.878). In the validation set, AUCs for predicting incident clinical vertebral fractures, hip fractures, and MOFs were 0.774 (95% CI: 0.686-0.862), 0.759 (95% CI: 0.645-0.873), and 0.739 (95% CI: 0.676-0.803), respectively. The Radscore exhibited weak correlations with traditional fracture assessment tools but independently with the diabetes-specific phenotype. It effectively stratified T2DM patients into risk groups with significantly differing fracture incidences.

conclusionsThis DXA-based Radscore presented in this study offers a robust approach to stratify fracture risk in elderly patients with T2DM. Its potential integration into clinical settings could facilitate personalized management strategies aimed at reducing fracture incidence.
