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

Background Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI sequences plays a vital role in diagnosing breast masses with high sensitivity and specificity as compared to other diagnostic modalities. The addition of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values significantly improves diagnostic accuracy. This study aimed to study the breast masses on DCE-MRI, restricted diffusion on DWI, ADC values, and choline peak on spectroscopy in breast cancer diagnosis. Material and methods This study was a prospective observational study which involved subjects with breast lumps. Baseline data was collected from the patients along with pertinent clinical history and relevant laboratory investigations. MR mammography (MRM) was performed on a 1.5 Tesla MR Scanner (MAGNETOM® Avanto, Siemens AG, Munich Germany) using a dedicated double breast coil. Results Forty-one subjects were included with a total of 54 breast masses in them. The mean age of the study population was 47.1±14.7 years. From the MRI final diagnosis, the majority (53.70%) were diagnosed as malignant lesions and 46.30% as benign. Out of 20 lesions diagnosed as benign on histopathology, only five percent had ADC value <1.3 ×10
