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

Purpose: To establish an optimal model to improve the malignancy prediction of BI-RADS 4 lesions and the preoperative prediction of tumor prognosis. Materials and methods: Ninety-six patients with 126 histopathology-confirmed breast lesions were included in the study. Conventional imaging features, radiomic features based on 3.0 T multi-parametric MRI and patient`s clinical characteristics were analyzed and selected as model candidate features. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) and Random Forest (RF) were used to construct the combined model. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and Net Reclassification Improvement Index (NRI) were performed to assess the diagnostic efficiency between the model and BI-RADS category. Relative ratio (RR) was calculated to assess the ability of model to predict the invasiveness of breast cancers. Finally, the malignant probability (MP) calculated by the optimal model, MRI-based size and lymph node (LN) stage were used by logistic algorithm to construct a preoperative Nottingham Prognostic Index (NPI) model. Results: The combined model incorporating multi-parametric MRI and clinical characteristics was superior to BI-RADS category in the diagnosis of breast cancer (NRI: 1.71, p < 0.05), and had an accuracy of 94 % to predict the malignancy of BI-RADS 4 lesions Conclusions: The combined model based on multi-parametric MRI and clinical characteristics improves the malignancy prediction of BI-RADS 4 lesions and the preoperative prediction of NPI, therefore providing comprehensive information on the characteristics and treatment plans for breast cancer.
