Automated In Vivo Sub-Hertz Analysis of Viscoelasticity (SAVE) for Evaluation of Breast Lesions.
Article in IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering, 2018. 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
We present an automated method for acquiring images and contrast parameters based on mechanical properties of breast lesions and surrounding tissue at load frequencies less than 1 Hz. The method called sub-Hertz analysis of viscoelasticity (SAVE) uses a compression device integrated with ultrasound imaging to perform in vivo ramp-and-hold uniaxial creep-like test on human breast in vivo. It models the internal deformations of tissues under constant surface stress as a linear viscoelastic response. We first discuss different aspects of our unique measurement approach and the expected variability of the viscoelastic parameters estimated based on a simplified one-dimensional reconstruction model. Finite-element numerical analysis is used to justify the advantages of using imaging contrast over viscoelasticity values. We then present the results of SAVE applied to a group of patients with breast masses undergoing biopsy.
