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

objectiveTo explore the application of incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI) in the differential diagnosis and molecular subtype analysis of breast cancer.

methodsThe clinical data of 225 patients with breast masses were selected, including breast cancers (n = 135) and benign breast tumors (n = 90). According to pathological results, breast cancers were divided into four subtypes: Luminal A (n = 24), Luminal B (n = 57), HER-2-overexpression (n = 27) and triple-negative breast cancers (n = 27). The patients were detected by IVIM-DWI, and then the average diffusion coefficient (ADC), perfusion fraction (f) value, true dispersion coefficient (D) value and false dispersion coefficient (D*) value were compared and analyzed. The above index were used to identify breast cancer and its molecular subtypes by using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.

resultsThe ADC, D and D*-value in breast cancer group were significantly lower than those in benign tumor group, while the f-value in breast cancer group was higher than that in benign tumor group (P<0.001); The ADC, D, D*, f-value and the combination of four have high diagnostic value in breast cancer; The D-value in PR-positive group was higher than that in the PR-negative group, while it was lower in PR-positive group (P<0.05), and the ADC, D and D*-value in the ER-positive group were significantly lower than those in the ER-negative group (P<0.001); The f-value in HER-2 positive group was higher than that in human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) negative group (P<0.001); The ADC and D-value of Ki-67 high-expression was lower than those of Ki-67 low-expression, while the D-value of Ki-67 high-expression was higher than that of Ki-67 low expression group (P<0.05); The ADC, D, D*, f-value and the combination of four have high diagnostic value in triple negative breast cancer.

conclusionIVIM-DWI technology has a significant value in differential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast tumors, and the relevant parameters of IVIM-DWI technology have definite value in the differential diagnosis of breast cancer molecular typing.
