Deep Learning-Based Automated Reports for Breast Density Assessment in Mammography Images.
Article in Journal of imaging informatics in medicine, 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
Breast density is a key factor in mammographic screening, as high-density tissue increases cancer risk and can obscure lesions, reducing diagnostic sensitivity. This work presents a deep learning-based framework for automated breast density assessment in mammography, combining BI-RADS classification and dense fibroglandular tissue segmentation. To improve data diversity and mitigate class imbalance, we construct a fusion dataset from different sources and introduce manually refined classification and segmentation annotations. The framework generates structured reports that combine visualizations and quantitative metrics, providing interpretable outputs to support analysis of breast density patterns. In addition to standard classification and segmentation tasks, we include spatial and morphological metrics, such as tissue distribution across quadrants, shape regularity, proximity to anatomical landmarks, and enhanced patch-based visualizations. These reports aim to complement and clarify BI-RADS predictions, especially in borderline cases. Extensive experiments using several model architectures demonstrate strong performance on the internal dataset and reasonable generalization across external datasets. The proposed system provides a reproducible and interpretable approach for breast density analysis and may serve as a foundation for further validation toward standardized and explainable reporting in breast imaging.
