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

objectiveTo analyze the diagnostic efficacy of ultrasound elastography (UE) and dynamic contrast-enhanced MR in benign and malignant breast masses.

methodsFrom August 2016 to May 2019, the medical records of 98 patients with breast masses in the Zhuji Sixth People's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, including 45 cases of benign tumor and 53 cases of malignancy diagnosed by pathology. All patients were examined by UE and dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging. The pathologic results were used as the gold standard, and the detection results of benign and malignant masses under different examinations were observed and compared with pathology to analyze the specificity and sensitivity.

resultsThe specificity and sensitivity of diagnosis by UE were 94.44% and 86.89% respectively. The specificity and sensitivity of diagnosis by dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging were 96.30% and 91.80%, respectively. The specificity and sensitivity of joint diagnosis were 98.36% and 90.74%, respectively.

conclusionJoint diagnosis can improve the sensitivity in the diagnosis of benign and malignant breast masses. This improves the diagnostic value for breast tumors.
