Article Abstract
The MCP-Mod approach by Bretz et al. is commonly applied for dose-response testing and estimation in clinical trials. The MCP part of MCP-Mod was originally developed to detect a dose-response signal using a multiple contrast test, but it is not appropriate to make a specific claim that the drug has a positive effect at an individual dose. In this paper, we extend the MCP-Mod approach to obtain confirmatory p-values for detecting a dose-response signal as well as for the pairwise comparisons of the individual doses against placebo. We apply the closed test principle from Marcus et al. to the optimal contrast tests based on a candidate set of plausible dose-response shapes available at the planning stage of a clinical trial. We show that the contrast coefficients have to be optimized under suitable constraints to guarantee strong Type 1 error rate control at a pre-specified significance level. Motivated by a recent clinical trial, we evaluate the operating characteristics of the proposed methods in a comprehensive simulation study.

Comparison of Diagnostic Accuracies of Radiomics and Non-radiomics Model for Preoperative Prediction of Macrotrabecular-Massive Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Acad Radiol
September 2025
Department of Radiology, The Second Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan, China. Electronic address:
Rationale And Objectives: The diagnostic value of traditional imaging methods and radiomics in predicting macrotrabecular-massive hepatocellular carcinoma (MTM HCC) is yet to be ascertained. Therefore, this meta-analysis aims to compare the diagnostic performance of radiomics and conventional imaging techniques for MTM HCC.
Materials And Methods: Comprehensive publications were searched in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library up to 28 February 2025.
Assessing the role of ICD in Chagas heart disease: a systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression.

Background: Chagas heart disease (ChD) is a significant public health concern in Latin America, contributing to a high incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Despite advances in heart failure treatment, management of Chagas cardiomyopathy has not progressed accordingly. While ICDs are effective for primary and secondary prevention in other conditions, patients with ChD often experience more frequent episodes of ventricular tachycardia, and ICD use may provide a negative impact and increase mortality.

Department of Radiology, Fujian Maternity and Child Health Hospital, College of Clinical Medicine for Obstetrics and Gynecology and Pediatrics, Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou, China.
Background: We aimed to develop and validate a radiomics-based machine learning nomogram using multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging to preoperatively predict substantial lymphovascular space invasion in patients with endometrial cancer.
Methods: This retrospective dual-center study included patients with histologically confirmed endometrial cancer who underwent preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The patients were divided into training and test sets.

Non-pharmacological and nonsurgical interventions for abdominal obesity in adults: A systematic review and network meta-analysis.
Medicine (Baltimore)
September 2025
The Third Clinical Medical College, Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, Hangzhou, China.
Background: Multiple non-pharmacological and nonsurgical interventions have demonstrated efficacy in improving abdominal obesity. However, the optimal intervention remains uncertain. This study aimed to assess the relative effectiveness and safety of these interventions in reducing waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), body mass index (BMI), and body weight among adults with abdominal obesity.
