Triple-negative invasive breast carcinoma: the association between the sonographic appearances with clinicopathological feature.

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
In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical and pathological factors that associated with sonographic appearances of triple-negative (TN) invasive breast carcinoma. With the ethical approval, 560 patients who were pathologically confirmed as invasive breast carcinoma were reviewed for ultrasound, clinical, and pathological data. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the typical sonographic features for TN invasive breast carcinomas. The effect of clinical and pathological factors on the sonographic features of TN invasive breast carcinoma was studied. There were 104 cases of TN invasive breast carcinoma. The independent sonographic features for the TN subgroup included regular shape (odds ratio, OR = 2.14, p = 0.007), no spiculated/angular margin (OR = 1.93, p = 0.035), posterior acoustic enhancement (OR = 2.14, p = 0.004), and no calcifications (OR = 2.10, p = 0.008). Higher pathological grade was significantly associated with regular tumor shape of TN breast cancer (p = 0.012). Higher Ki67 level was significantly associated with regular tumor shape (p = 0.023) and absence of angular/spiculated margin (p = 0.005). Higher human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) score was significantly associated with the presence of calcifications (p = 0.033). We conclude that four sonographic features are associated with TN invasive breast carcinoma. Heterogeneity of sonographic features was associated with the pathological grade, Ki67 proliferation level and HER2 score of TN breast cancers.
