Immunohistochemical index prediction of breast tumor based on multi-dimension features in contrast-enhanced ultrasound.
Article in Medical & biological engineering & computing, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Breast cancer is the leading killer of Chinese women. Immunohistochemistry index has great significance in the treatment strategy selection and prognosis analysis for breast cancer patients. Currently, histopathological examination of the tumor tissue through surgical biopsy is the gold standard to determine immunohistochemistry index. However, this examination is invasive and commonly causes discomfort in patients. There has been a lack of noninvasive method capable of predicting immunohistochemistry index for breast cancer patients. This paper proposes a machine learning method to predict the immunohistochemical index of breast cancer patients by using noninvasive contrast-enhanced ultrasound. A total of 119 breast cancer patients were included in this retrospective study. Each patient implemented the pathological examination of immunohistochemical expression and underwent contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging of breast tumor. The multi-dimension features including 266 three-dimension features and 837 two-dimension dynamic features were extracted from the contrast-enhanced ultrasound sequences. Using the machine learning prediction method, 21 selected multi-dimension features were integrated to generate a model for predicting the immunohistochemistry index noninvasively. The immunohistochemical index of human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2) was predicted based on multi-dimension features in contrast-enhanced ultrasound sequence with the sensitivity of 71%, and the specificity of 79% in the testing cohort. Therefore, the noninvasive contrast-enhanced ultrasound can be used to predict the immunohistochemical index. To our best knowledge, no studies have been reported about predicting immunohistochemical index by using contrast-enhanced ultrasound sequences for breast cancer patients. Our proposed method is noninvasive and can predict immunohistochemical index by using contrast-enhanced ultrasound in several minutes, instead of relying totally on the invasive and biopsy-based histopathological examination.
