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

Purpose: To compare the performances of deep learning (DL) to radiomics analysis (RA) in predicting pathological complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) based on pretreatment dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) in breast cancer. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 356 breast cancer patients who underwent DCE-MRI before NAC and underwent surgery after NAC. Image features and kinetic parameters of tumors were derived from DCE-MRI. Molecular information was assessed based on immunohistochemistry results. The image-based RA and DL models were constructed by adding kinetic parameters or molecular information to image-only linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and convolutional neural network (CNN) models. The predictive performances of developed models were assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and compared with the DeLong method. Results: The overall pCR rate was 23.3% (83/356). The area under the ROC (AUROC) of the image-kinetic-molecular RA model was 0.781 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.735, 0.828], which was higher than that of the image-kinetic RA model (0.629, 95% CI: 0.595, 0.663; Conclusions: The pretreatment DCE-MRI-based DL model is superior to the RA model in predicting pCR to NAC in breast cancer patients. The image-kinetic-molecular DL model has the best prediction performance.
