Shear wave elastography in the diagnosis of breast non-mass lesions: factors associated with false negative and false positive results.
Article in European radiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectiveTo investigate factors related to false shear wave elastography (SWE) results for breast non-mass lesions (NMLs) detected by B-mode US.
methodsThis retrospective study enrolled 152 NMLs detected by B-mode US and later pathologically confirmed (79 malignant, 73 benign). All lesions underwent B-mode US and SWE. Quantitative (mean elasticity [E
resultsAssociated calcifications (E
conclusionsPresence of associated calcifications, absence of the invasive component, and smaller lesion size for malignant NMLs and shorter distance from the nipple for benign NMLs are factors significantly associated with false SWE results. KEY POINTS: • Calcification and size are associated with false negative SWE in malignant NMLs. • In situ cancer is associated with false negative SWE in malignant NMLs. • Distance from the nipple is associated with false positive SWE in benign NMLs. • These factors need consideration when performing SWE on breast NMLs.
