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

purposeWe propose a novel methodology to integrate morphological and functional information of tumor-associated vessels to assist in the diagnosis of suspicious breast lesions. THEORY AND

methodsUltrafast, fast, and high spatial resolution DCE-MRI data were acquired on 15 patients with suspicious breast lesions. Segmentation of the vasculature from the surrounding tissue was performed by applying a Hessian filter to the enhanced image to generate a map of the probability for each voxel to belong to a vessel. Summary measures were generated for vascular morphology, as well as the inputs and outputs of vessels physically connected to the tumor. The ultrafast DCE-MRI data was analyzed by a modified Tofts model to estimate the bolus arrival time, K

resultsA total of 24 lesions were included in the study (13 malignant and 11 benign). The vessel count, K

conclusionThis study provides preliminary evidence that combining quantitative characterization of morphological and functional features of breast vasculature may provide an accurate means to diagnose breast cancer.
