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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesBreast cancer is one of the most common malignancies in women worldwide. Early diagnosis and accurate classification in breast cancer detection are among the most critical factors determining treatment success and patient survival. In this study, a deep learning-based model was developed that can classify benign, malignant, and normal breast tissues from ultrasound images with high accuracy and achieve better results than the methods commonly used in the literature.

methodsThe proposed model was trained on a dataset of breast ultrasound images, and its classification performance was evaluated. The model is designed to effectively learn both local textural features and global contextual relationships by combining Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) blocks, which emphasize channel-level feature importance, and Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) attention mechanisms, which focus on spatial information, with the MHA structure. The model's performance is compared with three commonly used convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and three Vision Transformer (ViT) architectures.

resultsThe developed model achieved an accuracy rate of 96.03% in experimental analyses, outperforming both the six compared models and similar studies in the literature. Additionally, the proposed model was tested on a second dataset consisting of histopathological images and achieved an average accuracy of 99.55%. The results demonstrate that the model can effectively learn meaningful spatial and contextual information from ultrasound data and distinguish different tissue types with high accuracy.

conclusionsThis study demonstrates the potential of deep learning-based approaches in breast ultrasound-based computer-aided diagnostic systems, providing a reliable, fast, and accurate decision support tool for early diagnosis. The results obtained with the proposed model suggest that it can significantly contribute to patient management by improving diagnostic accuracy in clinical applications.
