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

Misclassification of breast lesions can result in either cancer progression or unnecessary chemotherapy. Automated classification tools are seen as promising second opinion providers in reducing such errors. We have developed predictive algorithms that automate the categorization of breast lesions as either benign usual ductal hyperplasia (UDH) or malignant ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). From diagnosed breast biopsy images from two hospitals, we obtained 392 biomarkers using Dong et al.'s (2014) computational tools for nuclei identification and feature extraction. We implemented six machine learning models and enhanced them by reducing prediction variance, extracting active features, and combining multiple algorithms. We used the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for performance evaluation. Our top-performing model, a Combined model with Active Feature Extraction (CAFE) consisting of two logistic regression algorithms, obtained an AUC of 0.918 when trained on data from one hospital and tested on samples of the other, a statistically significant improvement over Dong et al.'s AUC of 0.858. Pathologists can substantially improve their diagnoses by using it as an unbiased validator. In the future, our work can also serve as a valuable methodology for differentiating between low-grade and high-grade DCIS.
