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

backgroundEarly-stage breast cancer patients often lack specific clinical manifestations, making diagnosis difficult. Molybdenum target X-ray and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations both have their own advantages. Thus, a combined examination methodology may improve early breast cancer diagnoses.

aimTo explore the combined diagnostic efficacy of molybdenum target X-ray and MRI examinations in breast cancer.

methodsPatients diagnosed with breast cancer at our hospital from March 2019 to April 2021 were recruited, as were the same number of patients during the same period with benign breast tumors. Both groups underwent molybdenum target X-ray and MRI examinations, and diagnoses were given based on each exam. The single (

resultsIn total, 63 breast cancer patients and 63 benign breast tumor patients were recruited. MRI detected 53 breast cancer cases and 61 benign breast tumor cases. Molybdenum target X-ray detected 50 breast cancer cases and 60 benign breast tumor cases. The combined methodology detected 61 breast cancer cases and 61 benign breast tumor cases. The sensitivity (96.83%) and accuracy (96.83%) of the combined methodology were higher than single-method MRI (84.13% and 90.48%, respectively) and molybdenum target X-ray (79.37% and 87.30%, respectively) (

conclusionCombined molybdenum target X-ray and MRI examinations for diagnosing breast cancer improved the diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy, minimizing the missed- and misdiagnoses risks and promoting timely treatment intervention.
