MR Elastography of the Breast: Evolution of Technique, Case Examples, and Future Directions.
Review in Clinical breast cancer, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
Recognizing that breast cancers present as firm, stiff lesions, the foundation of breast magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is to combine tissue stiffness parameters with sensitive breast MR contrast-enhanced imaging. Breast MRE is a non-ionizing, cross-sectional MR imaging technique that provides for quantitative viscoelastic properties, including tissue stiffness, elasticity, and viscosity, of breast tissues. Currently, the technique continues to evolve as research surrounding the use of MRE in breast tissue is still developing. In the setting of a newly diagnosed cancer, associated desmoplasia, stiffening of the surrounding stroma, and necrosis are known to be prognostic factors that can add diagnostic information to patient treatment algorithms. In fact, mechanical properties of the tissue might also influence breast cancer risk. For these reasons, exploration of breast MRE has great clinical value. In this review, we will: (1) address the evolution of the various MRE techniques; (2) provide a brief overview of the current clinical studies in breast MRE with interspersed case examples; and (3) suggest directions for future research.
