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

In recent years, a new dedicated spiral breast CT (SBCT) with photon-counting technology has been developed that offers clear advantages over established methods such as mammography and tomosynthesis, as well as the existing cone-beam breast CT (CBBCT) without a direct-conversion detector, particularly due to its unique feature of three-dimensional visualization of microcalcifications. Microcalcifications cannot be visualized using non-X-ray-based methods such as ultrasound and MRI. However, microcalcifications are particularly noticeable in 70% to 90% of DCIS cases 1 2 . Our experimental phantom study shows for the first time that the newly developed SBCT-compatible biopsy unit closes the previous diagnostic gap and enables both vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB) and the marking of detected findings (especially microcalcifications and round foci) after precise three-dimensional target planning with the help of SBCT.
