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

purposeTo develop and validate radiomic models using multi-parametric dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) and intravoxel incoherent movement (IVIM)-based features for the preoperative differentiation of HER2 expressions levels in breast cancer. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis retrospectively study analyzed 227 female breast cancer patients who underwent breast 3.0T MRI examination at our institution from December 2019 to December 2023. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) ten-fold cross-validation method was used to develop the radiomic features to identify HER2 positive and HER2 negative cancer(task 1), and further identify HER2 low and HER2 zero cancer(task 2). Then the radiomic features were selected and combined with clinical characteristics to construct predicting models using the logistic regression analysis. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC), sensitivity, and specificity were used to evaluate the performance of radiomic models.

resultsFor task 1, the AUCs of clinical model (histological grade and peritumoral edema), DCE combined IVIM(D + D*+f) radiomic model and clinic combined radiomic model were 0.785 (95%CI:0.713,0.846), 0.866 (95%CI:0.803,0.915) and 0.903 (95%CI:0.846,0.944) respectively. In the validation cohort, The AUCs were 0.751 (95%CI:0.633,0.848), 0.751 (95%CI:0.633,0.848) and 0.830 (95%CI:0.720,0.910) respectively. For task 2, the AUCs of DCE combined IVIM radiomic model in training and validation cohort were 0.951 (95%CI:0.888,0.984) and 0.853 (95%CI:0.712,0.942) respectively, and the radiomics score was independent predictors of HER2 low cancer.

conclusionThe radiomic signature derived from multi-parametric MRI, together with peritumoral edema and histological grade, demonstrated strong performance in predicting HER2 expression preoperatively in breast cancer, which may support individualized treatment strategies.
