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

Accurate identification of breast cancer subtypes is essential for guiding treatment decisions and improving patient outcomes. In current clinical practice, determining histological subtypes often requires additional invasive procedures, delaying treatment initiation. This study proposes a deep learning-based model built on a DenseNet121 backbone with a multi-scale feature fusion strategy, designed to classify breast cancer from histopathological biopsy images. Trained and evaluated on the publicly available BreaKHis dataset using 5-fold cross-validation, the model achieved a binary classification accuracy of 97.1%, and subtype classification accuracies of 93.8% for benign tumors and 92.0% for malignant tumors. These results demonstrate the model's ability to capture morphological cues at multiple levels of abstraction and highlight its potential as a diagnostic support tool in digital pathology workflows.
