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.
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
objectiveTo compare the performance of one-view digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) and two-view full-field digital mammography (FFDM) in the detection and characterization of breast lesions in a selective diagnostic population.
methodsA total of 598 breasts of 319 diagnostic patients were prospectively enrolled. Participants underwent bilateral one-view, mediolateral oblique (MLO) DBT and two-view, craniocaudal and MLO FFDM. The sensitivity and specificity of these methods and their classification into correct Breast Imaging-Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) categories were compared. These methods were also compared in patients subgrouped by mammographic parenchymal density. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed using the probability of cancer scores.
resultsDBT had higher overall sensitivity than FFDM (88.7% vs 80.7%, p = 0.001). Subgroup analyses showed that DBT had significantly higher sensitivity in assessing dense breasts and invasive cancers than FFDM. The BI-RADS category assessment was significantly better for DBT than for FFDM. The differences between the two modalities in specificity (94.1% and 93.2% for FFDM and DBT) were not significant (p = 0.664). The area under the ROC curves using the probability of cancer scores were 0.93 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.91-0.95] for FFDM and 0.96 (95% CI, 0.94-0.97) for DBT (p = 0.005). ROC curve analysis indicated that most of the increased performance of DBT was due to dense breasts.
conclusionA beneficial effect on the detection and characterization of breast lesions was found for one-view DBT compared with two-view FFDM in a selective diagnostic population. Improvements were especially enhanced in females with dense breasts. These results need to be examined in studies using large-scale consecutive sampling of a diagnostic population. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: In this study, using selective diagnostic study cases, one-view DBT offered improved reader performance compared with two-view FFDM for detection and characterization of breast cancers.
