Sixteen-Year Institutional Review of Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Guided Breast Biopsies: Trends in Histologic Diagnoses With Radiologic Correlation.

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
Background: Breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an important imaging tool for the management of breast cancer patients and for screening women at high risk for breast cancer. Objectives: To examine long-term trends in the distribution of histologic diagnoses obtained from MRI-guided breast biopsies. Design: Retrospective analysis. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the distribution of histologic diagnoses of MRI-guided breast biopsies from 2004 to 2019. All cases underwent central pathology review and lesions were classified based on the most prominent histologic finding present. Magnetic resonance imaging features were extracted from radiology reports when available and correlated with pathology diagnoses. Results: Four hundred ninety-four MRI-guided biopsies were performed on 440 patients; overall, 73% of biopsies were benign and 27% were malignant. The annual percentages of benign and malignant diagnoses remained similar throughout the 16-year period. Of the benign entities commonly identified, the percentage of benign papillary and sclerosing lesions detected in the benign biopsies increased significantly (13% in 2004-2011 vs 31% in 2012-2019, Conclusion: The specificity of breast MRI remained constant over a 16-year period; however, there was a shift in the distribution of benign diagnoses with increased detection and biopsy of benign papillary and sclerosing lesions. Monitoring the distribution of breast MRI biopsy diagnoses over time with radiology-pathology correlation might improve the suboptimal specificity of breast MRI.
