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: Histological grade is an important prognostic factor for patients with breast cancer and can affect clinical decision-making. From a clinical perspective, developing an efficient and non-invasive method for evaluating histological grading is desirable, facilitating improved clinical decision-making by physicians. This study aimed to develop an integrated model based on radiomics and clinical imaging features for preoperative prediction of histological grade invasive breast cancer. Methods: In this retrospective study, we recruited 211 patients with invasive breast cancer and randomly assigned them to either a training group (n=147) or a validation group (n=64) with a 7:3 ratio. Patients were classified as having low-grade tumors, which included grade I and II tumors, or high-grade tumors, which included grade III tumors. Three models were constructed based on basic clinical features, radiomics features, and the sum of the two. To assess diagnostic performance of the radiomics models, we employed measures such as receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, decision curve analysis (DCA), accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity, and the predictive performance of the three models was compared using the DeLong test and net reclassification improvement (NRI). Results: The area under the curve (AUC) of the clinical model, radiomics model, and comprehensive model was 0.682, 0.833, and 0.882 in the training set and 0.741, 0.751, and 0.836 in the validation set, respectively. NRI analysis confirmed that the combined model was better than the other two models in predicting the histological grade of breast cancer (NRI=21.4% in the testing cohort). Conclusion: Compared with the other models, the comprehensive model based on the combination of basic clinical features and radiomics features exhibits more significant potential for predicting histological grade and can better assist clinicians in optimal decision-making.
