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

backgroundSilent corticotroph adenoma (SCA) exhibits high invasiveness and recurrence; thus, accurate prediction of postoperative recurrence is crucial.

objectiveTo predict recurrence-free survival (RFS) in SCA using habitat analysis (subregion radiomics) and to develop a comprehensive nomogram integrating habitat scores, clinical, radiological, and pathological features.

methodsThis retrospective study included 325 SCA patients, randomly assigned to training and testing cohorts in a 7:3 ratio. Radiomics features were extracted from tumor subregions clustered via K-means based on CE-T1WI and T2WI. Feature selection involved t-tests, Pearson / Spearman correlation, and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression, and the habitat score was calculated based on the selected subregional radiomics features and their corresponding coefficients. Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses were used to identify prognostic factors. A nomogram incorporating independent predictors was constructed and validated for RFS prediction. Predictive performance was evaluated through the Harrell C-index, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA).

resultsHabitat scores significantly stratified patients by RFS (p < 0.001). Multivariate Cox analysis identified habitat score, Ki-67 index, surgical method, and postoperative gamma knife radiotherapy as independent predictors. Calibration and DCA curves confirmed good agreement and clinical utility.

conclusionHabitat scores derived from subregional radiomics provide good prognostic value for RFS prediction in SCA. The proposed nomogram enables individualized recurrence risk assessment, supporting postoperative decision-making.
