Ultrasound elastography in characterization of prostatic lesions: correlation with histopathological findings.
Article in The British journal of radiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveUltrasound elastography is increasingly used in the diagnosis of prostate cancer, however results are heterogeneous. We correlate in a large sample-size prospective study the accuracy of elastography, aiming to settle an accurate cut-off point for diagnosis and possibility of use as a screening tool.
methodsProspective study that included 120 patients with mean age 59.5 ± 9.8 years, showing enlarged prostate by clinical examination with prostate-specific antigen >4 ng ml
resultsThere was statistically significant difference (
conclusionStrain ratio improves the detection of prostatic cancer with high sensitivity (100%) and high negative predictive value (100%). ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Different prostatic lesions are mostly similar in grayscale ultrasound.Imaging plays an important role in differentiation of prostatic nodules.Ultrasound elastography may play an important role in distinguishing benign from malignant nodules.
