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

objectiveBreast ultrasound (BUS) is often performed as an adjunct to mammography in breast cancer screening or for evaluating breast lesions. Our aim was to design a practical and user-friendly format for BUS that could include the details of the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System. MATERIALS AND

methodsAs a team of radiologists and surgeons trained in the management of breast diseases, we gathered and carried out the project in four phases-literature search and collection of present report formats, summarizing key points and preparing the first draft, seeking expert opinion and preparing the final format, and pilot testing-followed by a survey was answered by the research team's radiologists and surgeons.

resultsIt produced a list of items to be stated in the BUS report, the final BUS report format, and the pilot format guide. Then, the radiologists used the format in three active ultrasound units in university-affiliated centers, and reports were referred to the surgeons. At the end of the project, the survey showed a high degree of ease of use, clarity, conciseness, comprehensiveness, and well-classified structure of the report format; but radiologists believed that the new organization took more time.

conclusionWe propose our design as a user-friendly and practical format for BUS reports. It should be used for a longer time and by various ultrasound centers in order to ascertain its benefits.
