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

To verify the capability of the Segment Anything Model for medical images in 3D (SAM-Med3D), tailored with low-rank adaptation (LoRA) strategies, in segmenting breast tumors in Automated Breast Ultrasound (ABUS) images. This retrospective study collected data from 329 patients diagnosed with breast cancer (average age 54 years). The dataset was randomly divided into training (n = 204), validation (n = 29), and test sets (n = 59). Two experienced radiologists manually annotated the regions of interest of each sample in the dataset, which served as ground truth for training and evaluating the SAM-Med3D model with additional customized modules. For semi-automatic tumor segmentation, points were randomly sampled within the lesion areas to simulate the radiologists' clicks in real-world scenarios. The segmentation performance was evaluated using the Dice coefficient. A total of 492 cases (200 from the "Tumor Detection, Segmentation, and Classification Challenge on Automated 3D Breast Ultrasound (TDSC-ABUS) 2023 challenge") were subjected to semi-automatic segmentation inference. The average Dice Similariy Coefficient (DSC) scores for the training, validation, and test sets of the Lishui dataset were 0.75, 0.78, and 0.75, respectively. The Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) categories of all samples range from BI-RADS 3 to 6, yielding an average DSC coefficient between 0.73 and 0.77. By categorizing the samples (lesion volumes ranging from 1.64 to 100.03 cm
