Combined Use of Shear Wave Elastography, Microvascular Doppler Ultrasound Technique, and BI-RADS for the Differentiation of Benign and Malignant Breast Masses.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Objective: To evaluate the value of the combined use of Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS), qualitative shear wave elastography (SWE), and AngioPLUS microvascular Doppler ultrasound technique (AP) for distinguishing benign and malignant breast masses. Materials and Methods: A total of 210 pathologically confirmed breast lesions in 210 patients were reviewed using BI-RADS, qualitative SWE, and AP. The sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value (NPV), positive predictive value (PPV), accuracy, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of BI-RADS and the combination of qualitative SWE and/or AP with BI-RADS were compared, respectively. Results: Compared with using BI-RADS alone, the use of combined qualitative SWE and/or AP with BI-RADS had higher AUC values ( Conclusion: Combination of qualitative SWE and AP with BI-RADS improved the diagnostic performance in differentiating benign from malignant breast lesions, which is helpful for avoiding unnecessary biopsies. However, we should be careful about the downgrading of sub-centimeter BI-RADS 4a category lesions.
