Ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation for benign breast lesions: evaluated by contrast-enhanced ultrasound combined with magnetic resonance imaging.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundMinimally invasive ablative techniques in the treatment of breast tumor has become popularly in recent years.
methodsWe analyzed gray-scale and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) features of 205 microwave ablated breast benign lesions from 182 consecutive patients, compared with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histopathology findings. The follow-up was implemented at 3, 6 and 12 months after the ablation treatment.
resultsBefore the MWA, the mean of largest diameter and volume of the lesions were 14.41±6.54 and 3,224±961 mm
conclusionsMicrowave ablation was a safe and efficient method in the treatment of the benign breast tumors. CEUS and enhanced MRI could accurately assess whether the MWA treatment is effective.
