The application of conventional us and transthoracic ultrasound elastography in evaluating peripheral pulmonary lesions.

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 aim of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of ultrasound (US) elastography in differentiating between benign and malignant peripheral lung lesions (PLLs). This retrospective study included 91 consecutive patients with 91 PLLs. Conventional US, strain elastography (SE), acoustic radiation force impulse imaging (ARFIimaging) and point share wave elastography (p-SWE) were performed. All of the pathological results were confirmed by US-guided biopsies or surgeries. There were 36 benign PLLs and 55 malignant PLLs on pathology. For conventional US, a lesion diameter ≥5 cm, irregular contour, presence of air bronchogram and non-abundant vascularity were predictive factors of malignancy (P<0.05). SE scores were observed to be invalid in differentiating between malignant and benign PLLs (P=0.542). For ARFIimaging scores, an elasticity score of 3 or greater was predictive of malignancy, with a sensitivity of 83.6% (46/55) and a specificity of 52.8% (19/36). For p-SWE, the share wave velocity of malignant PLLs was higher than benign ones (2.47±0.92 vs. 1.85±0.92 m/sec; P=0.0022). When 1.951 m/sec was selected as the cut-off value, a sensitivity of 70.9% (39/55) and a specificity of 69.4% (25/36) were obtained. Thus, US, particularly US elastography, is helpful in distinguishing malignant PLLs from benign PLLs.
