Evaluation of the Property of Axillary Lymph Nodes and Analysis of Lymph Node Metastasis Factors in Breast Cancer by Ultrasound Elastography.
Article in Computational and mathematical methods in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This research was aimed at investigating the role of ultrasound elastography (UE) in evaluating the properties of axillary lymph nodes in breast cancer and exploring the influencing factors of lymph node metastasis in breast cancer patients. Routine ultrasonography (US) and UE were performed for 160 breast cancer patients. 80 cases were in the group with lymph node metastasis, and the other 80 were in the nonlymph node metastasis group. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the two ultrasound examinations were compared, the receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curves were drawn, and the influencing factors of lymph node metastasis were analyzed. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of UE in diagnosing axillary lymph nodes of breast cancer were 97.22%, 95.45%, and 96.25%, respectively, which were markedly higher than those of routine US (
