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

backgroundLymphovascular invasion (LVI) is an important risk factor for prognosis of breast cancer and an unfavorable prognostic factor in node-negative invasive breast cancer patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between LVI and pre-operative features of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in node-negative invasive breast cancer.

methodsData were collected retrospectively from 132 cases who had undergone pre-operative MRI and had invasive breast carcinoma confirmed on the last surgical pathology report. MRI and DWI data were analyzed for the size of tumor, mass shape, margin, internal enhancement pattern, kinetic enhancement curve, high intratumoral T2-weighted signal intensity, peritumoral edema, DWI rim sign, and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values. We calculated the relationship between presence of LVI and various prognostic factors and MRI features.

resultsPathologic tumor size, mass margin, internal enhancement pattern, kinetic enhancement curve, DWI rim sign, and the difference between maximum and minimum ADC were significantly correlated with LVI (p < 0.05).

conclusionsWe suggest that DCE-MRI with DWI would assist in predicting LVI status in node-negative invasive breast cancer patients.
