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

objectivesTo analyze the features of digital mammography (DM) plus digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), ultrasonography (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of breast cancer in young women (≤30 years old) and the correlation with molecular subtypes. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe performed a retrospective study of imaging features of consecutive young women aged ≤30 years who were treated and surgically confirmed with breast cancer between January 2013 and December 2019 in our institution. All patients were Chinese women. DM + DBT and US were available for 170 lesions, MRI for 41 lesions. The imaging features were analysed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses to find the predictive factors of the molecular subtypes.

resultsThe predictive factors of the luminal B(HER2-) subtype (n = 51) were the mass with microcalcifications, irregular shape, spiculated margins, and shadowing posterior features (all P < 0.01). The predictive factors of the luminal B(HER2+) subtype (n = 26) were the spiculated margins (DBT + DM), angular margins (US), shadowing posterior features, and high vascularity (all P < 0.05). The predictive factors of the luminal A subtype (n = 37) were the mass without microcalcifications, spiculated margins, shadowing posterior features, and low vascularity (all P < 0.05). The predictive factors of the triple-negative subtype (n = 31) were the mass without microcalcifications, oval/round shape, circumscribed margins, enhancement of posterior features, and rim enhancement (MRI) (all P < 0.005). The predictive factors of the human-epidermal-growth-factor-receptor-2-enriched subtype (n = 26) were the only microcalcifications, microlobulated margins, and combined posterior feature (all P < 0.05).

conclusionCompared with the general population of breast cancer, this young female population presents a different molecular phenotype distribution. Some imaging features of breast cancer in young women ≤30 years old can be used to predict certain tumor molecular subtypes.
