Does contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) play a better role in diagnosis of breast lesions with calcification? A comparison with MRI.
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 10 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
objectiveTo compare the efficacy of contrast-enhanced ultrasound enabled reclassification of Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (CEUS-BI-RADS) with MRI in the diagnosis of breast lesions with calcification.
methodsA total of 52 breast lesions with calcification from 51 patients were detected by ultrasound as hyperechoic foci and categorized as BI-RADS 3-5. The 51 patients further underwent CEUS scan and MRI. The ultrasound-BI-RADS combined with CEUS 5-point score system redefined the classification of BI-RADS which was called CEUS-BI-RADS. The diagnostic efficacy of three methods was assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Histopathological assessment used as the gold-standard.
resultsThe sensitivities of Ultrasound-BI-RADS, MRI classification of BI-RADS (MRI-BI-RADS) and CEUS-BI-RADS were 85%, 90% and 95% without significant difference among the three modalities (
conclusionThe CEUS-BI-RADS has a better diagnostic efficiency than MRI-BI-RADS in the differentiation of the breast lesions with calcification. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: •CEUS is a better method in differentiation of breast lesions with calcification.•CEUS-BI-RADS increases the efficiency of diagnosis compared to MRI.
