Deep learning-based Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System classification and establishment of diagnostic model in breast cancer diagnosis with automated breast ultrasound.
Article in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 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
Background: Deep learning (DL) holds substantial promise for ultrasonography interpretation. However, there is limited research on the differential diagnosis of tumors in automated breast ultrasound (ABUS). This study constructs a breast cancer diagnosis model based on DL-adjusted Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (D-BI-RADS) and determines its diagnostic performance. Methods: This retrospective study evaluated 786 patients with 832 breast nodules who underwent ABUS examination, follow-up or surgery from November 2018 to January 2022. The three-dimensional (3D) Vision Transformer (ViT) DL diagnostic models (DMs) were established and ABUS BI-RADS was adjusted to D-BI-RADS. With univariable and multivariable logistic regression, incorporating ABUS features and D-BI-RADS, three breast cancer DMs were constructed. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was compared between DL, ABUS BI-RADS, and D-BI-RADS. In addition, the three DMs were verified in the validation set and test set. Results: The training, validation, and test data sets included 599 [mean age, 55±1.41 years; 351 (58.5%) malignant], 67 [mean age, 47.5±0.71 years; 40 (59.7%) malignant], and 166 [mean age, 61.5±4.95 years; 96 (57.8%) malignant] nodules. In the training data set, the D-BI-RADS showed improved performance in breast cancer diagnosis [AUC, 0.82; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.79-0.85; P<0.01] compared with A-BI-RADS. With BI-RADS category 4b (3.5) as the cut-off value for benign and malignant diagnosis, the D-BI-RADS showed improved performance (AUC, 0.919; 95% CI: 0.896-0.941). In addition, Logistic, Random Forest, and Support Vector Machine (SVM) methods achieved ideal performance in the test set (AUC, 0.93; 95% CI: 0.89-0.97; AUC, 0.934; 95% CI: 0.897-0.972; AUC, 0.938; 95% CI: 0.901-0.974; respectively). Conclusions: The DL can be a useful adjunct guide to the adjustment of BI-RADS, and the established DMs achieved ideal diagnostic performance in breast cancer.
