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

Distinct breast diseases are readily diagnosed by clinical and ultrasound appearance that radiologists and sonographers may encounter in emergency room and urgent care patient presentations. While it may be impractical or impossible for the on-call emergency radiologist to examine a patient with breast complaints, radiologists can and should adopt the practice pattern to routinely seek out the clinical photographs in the patient's medical record while interpreting breast examinations. Imaging should be interpreted in the context of both the history and the physical findings. Sonographers play important roles in the documentation of visual inspection findings, in addition to performing high quality targeted ultrasound where applicable. This pictorial offers resources to emergency radiologists and sonographers that facilitate rapid accurate diagnosis of ten distinct breast diseases.
