Combination of color Doppler ultrasound and CT for diagnosing breast cancer.

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
objectiveThis research aimed to estimate the diagnostic value of the combination of color Doppler ultrasound (CDU) and computed tomography (CT) in breast cancer (BC).
methodsAmong the 90 BC patients treated in our hospital from May 2018 to December 2020, 43 were examined by CDU before surgery and they served as the control group (CG), while the other 47 were examined with CDU and CT and were considered as the research group (RG). Lesions were confirmed as BC by postoperative pathological examination. The diagnosis rate for BC in the two groups was recorded, and the diagnostic value was analyzed by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The imaging features were compared. The diagnostic accuracy for T, N and M stages was evaluated, as well as the diagnosis rate for axillary lymph node metastasis (ALNM) in BC.
resultsThe RG showed a higher diagnosis rate for BC (P<0.05) and sharper imaging features, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.843 (P<0.05). The diagnostic accuracy for T, N and M stages and the diagnosis rate for ALNM in the RG were higher than those in the CG (P<0.05 for each comparison).
conclusionThe combination of CDU and CT has a high diagnostic value in BC, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
