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

purposeThis study aims to explore the relationship between ultrasound radiomics features and semantic features from BI-RADS classification in the preoperative differentiation of benign and malignant breast lesions, as well as the potential diagnostic advantages of radiomics features.

methodsRetrospective analysis was performed on 147 female patients with pathologically confirmed breast lesions. Ultrasound images and clinical data were used to construct three diagnostic models: BI-RADS classification single factor diagnostic model, Radiomics diagnostic model, and a BI-RADS-radiomic combined model. Additionally, univariate radiomic models based on semantic features were developed to investigate the associations.

resultsThe BI-RADS-Radiomics combined model demonstrated superior performance in both training and testing sets, with AUC values of 0.985 and 0.964, respectively. It also exhibited optimal diagnostic consistency and clinical net benefit. Significant correlations were observed between multiple radiomics features and specific semantic features (AUC range: 0.609-0.752).

conclusionRadiomics features effectively assist in breast cancer diagnosis via ultrasound and exhibit nonlinear associations with specific semantic features.
