ITCNET: a visual and language pretraining model based on multimodal fusion in predicting the breast cancer subtypes on DCE-MRI.
Article in BMC medical informatics and decision making, 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
objectiveTo develop a deep learning model for precise prediction of breast cancer molecular subtypes by integrating dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI), clinical data, and radiology reports.
methodsWe analyzed a retrospective cohort of 505 patients with pathologically confirmed breast cancer. Several models were developed and evaluated: image-based models (Swin Transformer, DenseNet121, ResNet50), unimodal models based on clinical data and radiology reports (using BERT), and multimodal fusion models. The proposed ITCNET model integrates all three data modalities.
resultsThe Swin Transformer was the best image-based model. The report-based BERT model surpassed other unimodal approaches. Among bimodal models, fusing reports with clinical data yielded the highest performance. Ultimately, the comprehensive ITCNET model achieved superior accuracy (0.9377) and AUC (0.9935).
conclusionThe ITCNET model demonstrates that multimodal fusion significantly enhances the prediction of breast cancer molecular subtypes, showcasing the potential of visual-language pretraining to advance precision oncology.
