Monitoring Microwave Ablation Using Ultrasound Echo Decorrelation Imaging: An
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2019. 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
In this study, a microwave-induced ablation zone (thermal lesion) monitoring method based on ultrasound echo decorrelation imaging was proposed. A total of 15 cases of ex vivo porcine liver microwave ablation (MWA) experiments were carried out. Ultrasound radiofrequency (RF) signals at different times during MWA were acquired using a commercial clinical ultrasound scanner with a 7.5-MHz linear-array transducer. Instantaneous and cumulative echo decorrelation images of two adjacent frames of RF data were calculated. Polynomial approximation images were obtained on the basis of the thresholded cumulative echo decorrelation images. Experimental results showed that the instantaneous echo decorrelation images outperformed conventional B-mode images in monitoring microwave-induced thermal lesions. Using gross pathology measurements as the reference standard, the estimation of thermal lesions using the polynomial approximation images yielded an average accuracy of 88.60%. We concluded that instantaneous ultrasound echo decorrelation imaging is capable of monitoring the change of thermal lesions during MWA, and cumulative ultrasound echo decorrelation imaging and polynomial approximation imaging are feasible for quantitatively depicting thermal lesions.
