Diagnostic value of virtual touch tissue quantification for breast lesions with different size.
Article in BioMed research international, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo evaluate diagnostic value of the virtual touch tissue quantification (VTTQ) for breast lesions with different sizes. MATERIALS AND
methodsPatients with 206 breast lesions were categorized into three groups according to lesion size (<10 mm, 10-20 mm, and >20 mm). Breast lesions were examined by conventional ultrasound and VTTQ, and shear wave velocity (SWV) of each lesion and adjacent normal breast tissue were measured. Diagnoses were confirmed by pathological examination after surgery. The receiver-operating characteristic curve (ROC) analyses were performed to evaluate the diagnostic value of SWV, and the area under curves (AUC) was compared among groups.
resultsSWV of malignant lesions was much higher than that of benign lesions, whereas the difference was not obvious for lesions <10 mm (P = 0.15). There was statistical significant difference of AUC between lesions <10 mm and 10-20 mm (P < 0.05), as well as lesions <10 mm and >20 mm (P < 0.05). The sensitivity of lesions <10 mm was 33.33%, which was relatively low compared to other groups.
conclusionAccording to our results, VTTQ is a promising method for breast lesions >10 mm, and further studies were warranted to improve sensitivity of VTTQ for breast lesions <10 mm.
