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

backgroundBI-RADS 4 breast lesions are suspicious for malignancy with a range from 2 to 95%, indicating that numerous benign lesions are unnecessarily biopsied. Thus, we aimed to investigate whether high-temporal-resolution dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (H_DCE-MRI) would be superior to conventional low-temporal-resolution DCE-MRI (L_DCE-MRI) in the diagnosis of BI-RADS 4 breast lesions.

methodsThis single-center study was approved by the IRB. From April 2015 to June 2017, patients with breast lesions were prospectively included and randomly assigned to undergo either H_DCE-MRI, including 27 phases, or L_DCE-MRI, including 7 phases. Patients with BI-RADS 4 lesions were diagnosed by the senior radiologist in this study. Using a two-compartment extended Tofts model and a three-dimensional volume of interest, several pharmacokinetic parameters reflecting hemodynamics, including K

resultsA total of 140 patients were included in the study and underwent H_DCE-MRI (n = 62) or L_DCE-MRI (n = 78) scans; 56 of these 140 patients had BI-RADS 4 lesions. Some pharmacokinetic parameters from H_DCE-MRI (Lesion_K
