Image quality and whole-lesion histogram and texture analysis of diffusion-weighted imaging of breast MRI based on advanced ZOOMit and simultaneous multislice readout-segmented echo-planar imaging.

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.
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
Objectives: To investigate the image quality and diagnostic capability a of whole-lesion histogram and texture analysis of advanced ZOOMit (A-ZOOMit) and simultaneous multislice readout-segmented echo-planar imaging (SMS-RS-EPI) to differentiate benign from malignant breast lesions. Study design: From February 2020 to October 2020, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) using SMS-RS-EPI and A-ZOOMit were performed on 167 patients. Three breast radiologists independently ranked the image datasets. The inter-/intracorrelation coefficients (ICCs) of mean image quality scores and lesion conspicuity scores were calculated between these three readers. Histogram and texture features were extracted from the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps, respectively, based on a WL analysis. Student's t-tests, one-way ANOVAs, Mann-Whitney U tests, and receiver operating characteristic curves were used for statistical analysis. Results: The overall image quality scores and lesion conspicuity scores for A-ZOOMit and SMS-RS-EPI showed statistically significant differences (4.92 ± 0.27 Conclusions: A-ZOOMit achieved higher image quality and lesion conspicuity than SMS-RS-EPI. Entropy based on A-ZOOMit is recommended for differentiating benign from malignant breast lesions.
