Dynamic Thermography-Based Early Breast Cancer Detection Using Multivariate Time Series.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
A computational approach for early breast cancer detection using Dynamic Infrared Thermography (DIT) was developed. Thermograms are represented by multivariate time series extracted from thermal hotspots in the breast, capturing five features: maximum and mean temperature, spatial heterogeneity, heat flux, and tumor depth, over 20 thermograms. Features are estimated based on the inverse solution of the Pennes bio-heat equation. Classification is performed using a Time Series Forest (TSF) and a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network. The TSF achieved an accuracy of 86%, while the LSTM reached 94% accuracy. These results indicate that dynamic thermal responses under cold-stress conditions reflect tumor angiogenesis and metabolic activity, demonstrating the potential of combining multivariate thermographic sequences, biophysical modeling, and machine learning for non-invasive breast cancer screening.
