Architectural distortion outcome: digital breast tomosynthesis-detected versus digital mammography-detected.
Article in La Radiologia medica, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesTo compare the outcome for DBT-detected and DM-detected suspicious AD, to evaluate the risk of malignancy and if is affected by the US or MRI imaging correlation.
methodsAll cases with suspicious AD (ultimately assigned BI-RADS 4 or 5 categories) were retrospectively included. Two radiologists independently reviewed DM and DBT images in two sessions for detection (DM vs. DBT). US and MRI imaging correlation findings were recorded. Pathologic results were compared between DBT-detected and DM-detected AD.
resultsAmong 137 detected ADs, 103 (75.2%) were DM-detected, and 34 (24.8%) were only DBT-detected (p = 0.01). The malignancy rate was lower for DBT-detected than DM-detected AD (14.7% vs. 45.6%) (p = 0.01). Malignancy rate was higher with US-positive than US-negative correlation at DM-detected AD (49.4% vs. 27.8%) (p = 0.01). Malignancy rate was not different for DBT-detected AD with (16.7%) or without (12.5%) sonographic correlation. NPV based on radiologists' level of suspicion was high (86.2%-97.2%) but not sufficient enough to forgo biopsy. Of 34 sonographically occult ADs, a positive-MRI correlation was identified in 19 (55.9%) ADs (7 were malignant, 12 were benign). A negative-MRI correlation was identified in 15 (44.1%) ADs; all had a benign outcome (p = 0.01).
conclusionsDBT-detected AD is less likely to represent malignancy than does DM-detected; however, the risk of malignancy is not low enough to forgo biopsy. MRI-negative correlation in sonographically occult AD was significantly associated with benign outcomes and can avoid unnecessary interventions.
