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

Predicting low nuclear grade DCIS before surgery can improve treatment choices and patient care, thereby reducing unnecessary treatment. Due to the high heterogeneity of DCIS and the limitations of biopsies in fully characterizing tumors, current diagnostic methods relying on invasive biopsies face challenges. Here, we developed an ensemble machine learning model to assist in the preoperative diagnosis of low nuclear grade DCIS. We integrated preoperative clinical data, ultrasound images, mammography images, and Radiomic scores from 241 DCIS cases. The ensemble model, based on Elastic Net, Generalized Linear Models with Boosting (glmboost), and Ranger, improved the ability to predict low nuclear grade DCIS preoperatively, achieving an AUC of 0.92 on the validation set, outperforming the model using clinical data alone. The comprehensive model also demonstrated notable enhancements in integrated discrimination improvement and net reclassification improvement (p < 0.001). Furthermore, the Radiomic ensemble model effectively stratified DCIS patients by risk based on disease-free survival. Our findings emphasize the importance of integrating Radiomic into DCIS prediction models, offering fresh perspectives for personalized treatment and clinical management of DCIS.
