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

The purpose of this feasibility study is to investigate if latent diffusion models (LDMs) are capable to generate contrast enhanced (CE) MRI-derived subtraction maximum intensity projections (MIPs) of the breast, which are conditioned by lesions. We trained an LDM with n = 2832 CE-MIPs of breast MRI examinations of n = 1966 patients (median age: 50 years) acquired between the years 2015 and 2020. The LDM was subsequently conditioned with n = 756 segmented lesions from n = 407 examinations, indicating their location and BI-RADS scores. By applying the LDM, synthetic images were generated from the segmentations of an independent validation dataset. Lesions, anatomical correctness, and realistic impression of synthetic and real MIP images were further assessed in a multi-rater study with five independent raters, each evaluating n = 204 MIPs (50% real/50% synthetic images). The detection of synthetic MIPs by the raters was akin to random guessing with an AUC of 0.58. Interrater reliability of the lesion assessment was high both for real (Kendall's W = 0.77) and synthetic images (W = 0.85). A higher AUC was observed for the detection of suspicious lesions (BI-RADS
