Usefulness of 2-D shear wave elastography for the diagnosis of inguinal lymph node metastasis of malignant melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma.
Article in The Journal of dermatology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 used 2-D shear wave elastography to quantify lymph node hardness, from the shear wave velocity, to determine the presence or absence of metastatic lymphadenopathy in the inguinal lymph nodes of five patients with malignant melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma. The shear wave velocity accurately identified all cases of metastasis confirmed by histology, compared with two false-positive and one false-negative finding with positron emission tomography/computed tomography. 2-D shear wave elastography would be useful to evaluate inguinal lymph node metastasis.
