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

objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate axillary pathologic complete response (pCR) after neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST) in clinically node-positive breast cancer (BC) patients based on post-NST multiple-parameter MRI and clinicopathological characteristics.

methodsIn this retrospective study, females with clinically node-positive BC who received NST and followed by surgery between January 2017 and September 2021 were included. All axillary lymph nodes (ALNs) on MRI were matched with pathology by ALN markers or sizes. MRI morphological parameters, signal intensity curve (TIC) patterns and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values of post-NST ALNs were measured. The clinicopathological characteristics was also collected and analyzed. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate the independent predictors of axillary pCR.

resultsPathologically confirmed 137 non-pCR ALNs in 71 patients and 87 pCR ALNs in 87 patients were included in this study. Cortical thickness, fatty hilum, and TIC patterns of ALNs, hormone receptor, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status were significantly different between the two groups (all,

conclusionCombining post-NST multiple-parameter MRI and clinicopathological characteristics allowed more accurate identification of BC patients who had received axillary pCR after NST. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: A combined model incorporated multiple-parameter MRI and clinicopathologic features demonstrated good performance in evaluating axillary pCR preoperatively and non-invasively.
