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: The aim of this study was to develop a conventional ultrasound (US) features-based nomogram for the prediction of malignant nonmasslike (NML) breast lesions. Methods: Consecutive cases of adult females diagnosed with NML breast lesions via US screening in our center from June 1 Results: A total of 229 patients were included in the study after exclusion and follow-up. The overall malignant rate of NML breast lesions was 31.0%. Age, clinical symptoms, echo pattern, calcification, orientation, and Adler's classification were selected to generate the nomogram according to the results of the multivariable logistic regression analysis. The bias-corrected C-index and the AUC of our nomogram were 0.790 and 0.828, respectively. The DCA showed that our model had larger net benefits in a range from 0.2 to 0.7 when compared with the BI-RADS. Conclusions: We developed a prediction model using a combination of age, clinical symptoms, echo pattern, calcification, orientation, and Adler's classification for malignant NML breast lesion prediction that yielded adequate discrimination and calibration.
