Differentiation of bilateral BI-RADS 4 breast lesions with one benign and one malignant finding using dual-layer detector spectral CT: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2026. 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
The differentiation between benign and malignant BI-RADS 4 breast lesions remains a significant clinical challenge, particularly when multi-modal imaging assessments yield inconsistent results, often leading to diagnostic dilemmas. Dual-layer detector spectral computed tomography (CT) (DLCT), as an imaging modality, provides multi-parametric quantitative information and holds promise as a tool for lesion differentiation. Here, we present a case of bilateral breast lesions. Although ultrasound assessed both as BI-RADS 4, subsequent mammography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and CT yielded discordant findings for the right lesion. Retrospective analysis of the preoperative DLCT data clearly revealed the intrinsic differences between the bilateral lesions. This accurately predicted malignancy on the left side and benignity on the right side, which was in complete concordance with the final surgical pathological findings.
