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.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the predictive efficacy of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the pathological response of advanced breast cancer to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). The breast PET/MRI image deep learning model was introduced and compared with the conventional methods. PET/CT and MRI parameters were evaluated before and after the first NAC cycle in patients with advanced breast cancer [n = 56; all women; median age, 49 (range 26-66) years]. The maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) were obtained with the corresponding baseline values (SUV0, MTV0, and TLG0, respectively) and interim PET images (SUV1, MTV1, and TLG1, respectively). Mean apparent diffusion coefficients were obtained from baseline and interim diffusion MR images (ADC0 and ADC1, respectively). The differences between the baseline and interim parameters were measured (ΔSUV, ΔMTV, ΔTLG, and ΔADC). Subgroup analysis was performed for the HER2-negative and triple-negative groups. Datasets for convolutional neural network (CNN), assigned as training (80%) and test datasets (20%), were cropped from the baseline (PET0, MRI0) and interim (PET1, MRI1) images. Histopathologic responses were assessed using the Miller and Payne system, after three cycles of chemotherapy. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to assess the performance of the differentiating responders and non-responders. There were six responders (11%) and 50 non-responders (89%). The area under the curve (AUC) was the highest for ΔSUV at 0.805 (95% CI 0.677-0.899). The AUC was the highest for ΔSUV at 0.879 (95% CI 0.722-0.965) for the HER2-negative subtype. AUC improved following CNN application (SUV0:PET0 = 0.652:0.886, SUV1:PET1 = 0.687:0.980, and ADC1:MRI1 = 0.537:0.701), except for ADC0 (ADC0:MRI0 = 0.703:0.602). PET/MRI image deep learning model can predict pathological responses to NAC in patients with advanced breast cancer.
