Breast imaging at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital: A clinically relevant audit.
Article in SA journal of radiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundBreast cancer is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. From experience, we have found that the disease burden at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital (CHBAH) is unique with an advanced stage at presentation.
objectiveTo perform a breast-imaging audit at CHBAH, focused on interpretive performance and disease burden.
methodDemographic and imaging data were retrospectively collected over a 6-month period. Data collected and derived followed the audit-definitions and rules described within the American College of Radiology-breast-imaging reporting and data system (ACR-BI-RADS) atlas (5th edn.). A comparison was made to benchmark values published by the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
resultsA total of 1549 mammography examinations were analysed. The screening subgroup (
conclusionThe study illustrates the challenges faced by a South African breast-imaging unit confronted with advanced loco-regional disease. The cancer burden is highlighted within a community where there is a lack of national screening mammography. The process of performing a basic, clinically relevant audit is simple and should be a routine practice in breast-imaging units.
