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

objectiveTo evaluate the value of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) in diagnosis of dense breast lesions.

methodsClinical and pathological data of 163 patients (58 benign lesions, 122 malignant lesions, and 180 lesions in total) with breast lesions undergoing surgical treatment in Shaoxing Central Hospital from January 2017 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The lesions were classified into non-homogeneous dense gland type and extremely dense gland type according to BI-RADS creterion. Breast MRI and DBT examinations were performed before the surgery. ROC curve was generated and the diagnostic efficacy of two examination methods for dense breast lesions was evaluated with pathological results as the gold standard. The detection rate, diagnostic accuracy of benign and malignant breast lesions were compared between two methods using chi-square test. The accuracy of lesion size preoperatively evaluated by MRI and DBT was analyzed by Pearson correlation.

resultsThe detection rate and diagnostic accuracy for benign breast lesions by MRI were higher than those by DBT (91.4% vs. 75.9%,

conclusionsDBT can effectively diagnose benign and malignant breast lesions under dense gland background, and it has similar diagnostic efficacy with MRI for breast malignant lesions.
