1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeThe objective of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the association between background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) on contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) with Sonazoid

methodsA total of 65 patients who underwent breast CEUS with Sonazoid

resultsThere was a weak negative correlation between BPE on CEUS and age. As for the contrast effect of parenchymal tissue, there was a significant difference between the menstruating and menopausal groups. There was no significant difference among the levels of mammographic density, and among the degrees of contrast effect on MRI. BPE on CEUS was the same between those with a malignant tumor and those with a benign tumor in each menstrual status. The parenchymal tissue with the low-contrast effect showed pathological atrophy.

conclusionThe degree of BPE on CEUS appeared related to age, menstruating or menopausal, and atrophy of breast tissue. BPE on CEUS was the same between those with a malignant tumor and those with a benign tumor in each menstrual status.
