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

The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between Ki-67 expression and radiomics features of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) in patients with invasive breast cancer. A total of 53 cases with low-Ki-67 expression (Ki-67 proliferation index <14%) and 106 cases with high-Ki-67 expression (Ki-67 proliferation index >14%) were investigated. A systematic approach was applied that focused on the automated segmentation of lesions and extraction of radiomics features. For each lesion 5 morphology, 4 gray-scale histogram and 6 texture features were obtained, and statistical analyzes were performed to assess the differences in these features between the low- and high-Ki-67 expressions. One morphology metric (area), 3 gray-scale histogram indexes (standard deviation, skewness and kurtosis) and 3 texture features (contrast, homogeneity and inverse differential moment) demonstrated a significant difference (P<0.05), with low-Ki-67 expression lesions tending to be smaller, clearer and heterogeneous when compared with the high-Ki-67 expressed cases. These results may provide a noninvasive means to better understand the proliferation of breast cancer.
