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

Poor positioning decreases mammography sensitivity and is arguably the single most important contributor to image quality (IQ). Inadequate IQ may subject patients to technical repeat views during the examination or return for technical recalls. Artificial intelligence (AI) software can objectively evaluate breast positioning and compression metrics for all images and technologists. This study assessed whether implementation of AI software across the authors' institution improved IQ and reduced rates of technical repeats and recalls (TR). From April 2019 to March 2022, TR was retrospectively evaluated for 40 technologists (198 054 images; Centricity electronic medical record system, GE HealthCare), and AI IQ metrics were available for 42 technologists (211 821 images; Analytics, Volpara Health Technologies). Diagnostic and digital breast tomosynthesis images and implant cases were excluded. Kolmogorov-Smirnov, χ
