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

objectivesThis study aimed to develop a novel radiomic model by incorporating features from both habitat subregions and peritumoral regions to preoperatively predict lymph node metastasis (LNM) in early-stage cervical cancer using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI).

methods433 early-stage cervical cancer patients from four hospitals undergoing DWI were enrolled. Peritumoral regions were delineated by 1-4 mm expansion, and habitat analysis identified two intratumoral subregions, named Habitat 1 and Habitat 2 respectively. Intratumoral, peritumoral, and habitat features were extracted for model development. Prediction models included: Intra, Peri 1-4 mm, Habitat (1 and 2), and Fusion model. Performance was assessed via receiver operating characteristic curve, calibration, and decision curve analyses.

resultsAmong the peritumoral models, the 3 mm peritumoral model demonstrated the best performance for LNM prediction, with AUCs of 0.867 (95% CI: 0.805-0.929), 0.747 (95% CI: 0.608-0.886), and 0.815 (95% CI: 0.743-0.887) in the training, validation, and test set, respectively. The Habitat 1 model also showed favorable performance, achieving AUCs of 0.838 (95% CI: 0.774-0.901), 0.712 (95% CI: 0.556-0.867), and 0.782 (95% CI: 0.694-0.869) in the training, validation, and test groups, respectively. Notably, Fusion model, combining Peri 3 mm and Habitat 1 features, achieved the best overall performance, with AUCs of 0.910 (95% CI: 0.868-0.953), 0.747 (95% CI: 0.600-0.894), and 0.837 (95% CI: 0.767-0.907) across the training, validation, and test sets, respectively and outperformed other models in calibration and decision curve analyses.

conclusionThe Fusion model enables superior and noninvasive prediction of LNM in early-stage cervical cancer patients.
