Ultrasound guided percutaneous microwave ablation of benign breast lesions.
Article in Oncotarget, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
The benign breast lesions (BBLs) share a high incidence for women and therapy methods with minimal invasion and better cosmetic outcome are thirsted for. In this study, 122 patients with 198 biopsy-proved BBLs were enrolled. Ultrasound (US)-guided microwave ablation (MWA) was performed with local anesthesia from November, 2013 to April, 2016. The mean longest tumor size assessed was 1.6±0.7 cm (ranging 0.7-4.9 cm). MWA was successfully performed in all cases including 85 lesions adjacent to the skin, pectoralis and areola. The mean ablation time was 3.2mins (ranging 0.5-18.3 mins). 99.5% of BBLs showed complete ablation when assessed by magnetic resonance imaging and 100% of them by US. At the median 14-month follow-up, the BBLs were not palpable in 45.9 % of the cases (palpable in 90.2 % of the cases before MWA) and the mean volume reduction ratio was 78.4±33.5% for total lesions and 89.3±20.8%, 84.7±27.6% and 55.9±32.9% for ≤1.0 cm, 1.1-2.0cm and >2.0 cm lesions in 12-month follow-up, respectively. Cosmesis were reported as good or excellent in 100 % by physician and patients. No side effect was found. The MWA of the BBLs proved feasible and effective, while showing meaningful reduction in volume, palpability and cosmetic satisfying outcomes.
