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
introductionBreast cancer is known as the most common type of cancer in women, and this has raised the importance of its diagnosis in medical science as one of the most important issues. In addition to reducing costs, the diagnosis of benign or malignant breast cancer is very important in determining the treatment method.
objectiveThe purpose of this paper is to present a model based on data mining techniques including feature selection and ensemble classification that can accurately predict breast cancer patients in the early stages. METHODOLOGY: The proposed breast cancer detection model is developed by joining Adaptive Differential Evolution (ADE) algorithm for feature selection and Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) neural network for classification. Our proposed model as ADE-LVQ has the ability to automatically and quickly diagnose breast cancer patients into two classes, benign and malignant. As a new evolutionary approach, ADE performs optimal configuration for LVQ neural network in addition to selecting effective features from breast cancer data. Meanwhile, we configure an ensemble classification technique based on LVQ, which significantly improves the prediction performance.
resultsADE-LVQ has been analyzed from different perspectives on different datasets from Wisconsin breast cancer database. We apply different approaches to handle missing values and improve data quality on this database. The results of the simulations showed that the ADE-LVQ model is more successful than the equivalent and state-of-the-art models in diagnosing breast cancer patients. Also, ADE-LVQ provides better performance with less complexity, considering feature selection and ensemble learning. In particular, ADE-LVQ improves accuracy (up to 3.4%) and runtime (up to 2.3%) on average compared to the existing best method.
conclusionCombined methods based on data mining techniques for breast cancer diagnosis can help doctors in making better decisions for disease treatment.
