Evaluation of thyroid cancer in Chinese females with breast cancer by vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), microvessel density, and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS).
Article in Tumour biology : the journal of the International Society for Oncodevelopmental Biology and Medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
To evaluate thyroid cancer in Chinese females with breast cancer by VEGF, MVD, and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), 34 of 2,278 female inpatients with breast diseases who underwent routine thyroid ultrasonography were pathologically proved as thyroid cancer and enrolled into two groups: a breast cancer group and a non-breast cancer group. CEUS was performed and enhancement patterns were classified. Time-intensity curve parameters were analyzed to correlate with MVD CD34 and VEGF expression. Fourteen (2.6 %) and 20 (1.1 %) patients in breast cancer and non-breast cancer group were pathologically diagnosed as thyroid cancer. Six (42.8 %) and 0(0 %) patients showed high enhancement CEUS patterns of thyroid cancer in these two groups, respectively. The arrival time of time-intense curve was shorter, and the mean and peak intensity were higher in thyroid cancer in breast cancer group. The mean MVD counts and VEGF expression were significantly higher in thyroid and breast carcinomas in breast cancer group (P < 0.01). We also found that the mean and peak intensity were significantly associated with MVD counts and VEGF expression (P < 0.01). CEUS is recommended in evaluating the microcirculation of thyroid cancer in women with breast cancer and has the significant relationship with MVD counts and VEGF expression.
