Quantitative analysis of shear wave elastic heterogeneity for prediction of lymphovascular invasion in breast cancer.
Article in The British journal of radiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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 evaluate the correlation between elastic heterogeneity (EH) and lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in breast cancers and assess the clinical value of using EH to predict LVI pre-operatively.
methodsThis retrospective study consisted of 376 patients with breast cancers that had undergone shear wave elastography (SWE) with virtual touch tissue imaging quantification between June 2017 and June 2018. The EH was determined as the difference between the averaged three highest and three lowest shear wave value. Clinicalpathological parameters including histological type and grades, LVI, axillary lymph node status and molecular markers (estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 and Ki-67) were reviewed and recorded. Relationship EH and clinicalpathological parameters was investigated respectively. The diagnostic performance of EH in distinguishing LVI or not was analyzed.
resultsAt multivariate regression analysis, only EH (
conclusionEH has the potential to be served as an imaging biomarker to predict LVI in breast cancer especially for tumors ≤ 2 cm. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: There was no association between LVI and other most commonly used elastic features such as SWV
