Review in Clinical and translational imaging, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

purposeThis review aims to discuss the methodological aspects of dedicated molecular breast imaging (MBI) using

methodsLiterature search was performed using the PubMed/MEDLINE database and "

resultsThere are few studies on

conclusionsMBI-guided biopsy appears to be a complementary modality and is principally indicated in the case of occult or unclear breast lesions on MG/US, that are suspicious on MBI. The future indication is in targeted biopsies in patients with large heterogeneous tumours. Further studies are needed to define the accuracy of this biopsy procedure.
