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

backgroundFirst evaluation of the performance of MR cytometry incorporating transcytolemmal water exchange in predicting immunohistochemical factor status and molecular subtypes of breast cancer. PATIENTS AND

methodsWe prospectively enrolled 90 breast cancer patients in the study. For each participant, pulsed gradient spin-echo (PGSE) with diffusion time of 70 ms and oscillating gradient spin-echo (OGSE) diffusion-weighted imaging of 25 Hz and 50 Hz were performed on a 3T MRI scanner. Time-dependent apparent diffusion coefficients (ADC) and microstructural parameters including cell diameter

resultsThe multi-variable regression models generated from MR cytometry-derived metrics provided higher AUC compared to those from time-dependent ADC metrics,

conclusionsMR cytometry outperformed conventional ADC measurements in clinical breast cancer subtyping. Incorporating transcytolemmal water exchange further enhanced classification accuracy.
