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

backgroundFor recognizing the initial stages of breast cancer, mammography is regarded as one of the best modalities and plays a crucial part to lessen morbidity and mortality. For collaborative studies and planning of preventive strategies, it is significant to have baseline data. Thus, in this survey, the frequency distribution of breast imaging reporting and data system (BIRADS) classification and breast consistencies was investigated during the mammographic screening program in the Gwalior region, India. MATERIAL AND

methodsA descriptive, cross-sectional survey was conducted in the Gwalior region, India, in which 1,838 patients were screened with the aid of mammography. The mammography films were evaluated by a single radiologist who determined the BIRADS score, breast composition, and any other abnormal findings. After tabulating the data into MS Excel (MS Office version 2007 developed by Microsoft, Redmond, WA), descriptive analysis and Chi-square test were performed to determine the association between the BIRADS score and breast consistency and setting significance level at (below) 0.05.

resultsThe most commonly found BIRADS score was score 1 (53.4%), followed by score 2 (20.4%), and score 5 was of the least frequency (1.3%). Similarly, the most common consistency found was fatty (48.2%) and the least common was heterogeneously dense (3.97%). The most BIRADS category of 0 was seen in heterogeneously dense (

conclusionIn this study, it was observed that about 57.3% of all the cases were categorized as BIRADS 1 and 20.8% as BIRADS 2.
