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

backgroundDeep learning-based computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) is an important method in aiding diagnosis for radiologists. We investigated the accuracy of a deep learning-based CAD in classifying breast lesions with different histological types.

methodsA total of 448 breast lesions were detected on ultrasound (US) and classified by an experienced radiologist, a resident and deep learning-based CAD respectively. The pathological results of the lesions were chosen as the golden standard. The diagnostic performances of the three raters in different pathological types were analyzed.

resultsFor the overall diagnostic performance, deep learning-based CAD presented a significantly higher specificity (76.96%) compared with the two radiologists. The area under ROC of CAD was almost equal with the experienced radiologist (0.81

conclusionsIn the diagnosis of these common types of breast lesions, deep learning-based CAD had a satisfying performance. Deep learning-based CAD had a better performance in the breast benign lesions, especially in fibroadenomas and adenosis. Therefore, deep learning-based CAD is a promising supplemental tool to US to increase the specificity and avoid unnecessary benign biopsies.
