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

backgroundMultiparametric dual-energy computed tomography (mpDECT) is widely used to differentiate various kinds of tumors; however, the data regarding its diagnostic performance with machine learning to diagnose breast tumors is limited. We evaluated univariate analysis and machine learning performance with mpDECT to distinguish between benign and malignant breast lesions.

methodsIn total, 172 patients with 214 breast lesions (55 benign and 159 malignant) who underwent preoperative dual-phase contrast-enhanced DECT were included in this retrospective study. Twelve quantitative features were extracted for each lesion, including CT attenuation (precontrast, arterial, and venous phases), the arterial-venous phase difference in normalized effective atomic number (nZ

resultsThe univariate analysis showed that the venous phase λ

conclusionsThe performance of the AdaBoost classifier based on mpDECT data achieved the highest mean accuracy compared to the other machine learning models and univariate analysis in differentiating between benign and malignant breast lesions.
