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 current study was to develop a semi-automatic and quantitative method for the analysis of a time-intensity curve (TIC) from breast dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging. The performance of the proposed method, based on the level set segmentation algorithm, was evaluated by comparison with the traditional method. In the traditional method, the lesion area is delineated manually and the corresponding mean TIC is classified subjectively as one of three washout patterns. In addition, only one quantitative parameter, the maximum slope of increase (MSI), is calculated. In the proposed method, the lesion region was determined semi-automatically and the corresponding mean TIC was categorized quantitatively. In addition to MSI, a number of quantitative parameters were derived from the mean TIC and lesion area, including signal intensity slope (SI
