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

(1) Background: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is an integral part of breast cancer management, and response to NAC is an important prognostic factor associated with improved survival outcomes. However, the current standard for response assessment relies on post-surgical histopathological analysis, which limits early therapeutic decision-making and treatment personalization. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a machine learning model that integrates pre-treatment MRI radiomics and clinical features to predict response to NAC in breast cancer patients. (2) Methods: In this study, a machine learning model was developed to predict breast cancer response to NAC using pre-treatment magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics and clinical data. Radiomic features were extracted from contrast-enhanced T1-weighted (CE-T1) and T2-weighted (T2) MRI sequences using both intratumoral and peritumoral segmentations. Furthermore, this study uniquely examined two response assessment criteria: (1) pathologic complete response (pCR) versus non-pCR, and (2) clinical response versus non-response. A total of 254 patients with biopsy-confirmed breast cancer who completed NAC were included. Radiomic features (
