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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveThis study aims to develop and evaluate a unique global mammographic image feature analysis scheme to predict likelihood of a case depicting the detected suspicious breast mass being malignant for breast cancer.

methodsFrom the entire breast area depicting on the mammograms, 59 features were initially computed to characterize the breast tissue properties at both spatial and frequency domain. Given that each case consists of two cranio-caudal and two medio-lateral oblique view images of left and right breasts, two feature pools were built, which contain the computed features from either two positive images of one breast or all the four images of two breasts. Next, for each feature pool, a particle swarm optimization (PSO) method was applied to determine the optimal feature cluster followed by training a support vector machine (SVM) classifier to generate a final score for predicting likelihood of the case being malignant. To test the scheme, we assembled a dataset involving 275 patients who had biopsy due to the suspicious findings on mammograms. Among them, 134 are malignant and 141 are benign. A ten-fold cross validation method was used to train and test the scheme.

resultsThe classification performance levels measured by the areas under ROC curves are 0.79 ± 0.07 and 0.75 ± 0.08 when applying the SVM classifiers trained using image features computed from two-view and four-view images, respectively.

conclusionsThis study demonstrates feasibility of developing a new global mammographic image feature analysis-based scheme to predict the likelihood of case being malignant without lesion segmentation.
