Improved quantitative contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging of hepatocellular carcinoma response to transarterial chemoembolization.
Article in Proceedings. IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The purpose of this research project was to improve the quantification of microvascular networks depicted in contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) images of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Due to limited anatomical information in CEUS images, grayscale B-mode ultrasound (US) data is preferred when estimating tissue motion. Transformation functions derived from the B-mode data are one solution for registering a dynamic sequence of CEUS images. Microvessel density (MVD) can then be calculated from both the original and motion corrected CEUS images as the ratio of the number of contrast-enhanced image pixels with a value greater than zero to the number of pixels of the entire tumor space. Using US images of HCC before and after treatment with transarterial chemoembolization, results revealed that affine and non-rigid motion correction improves visualization and quantitative analysis of clinical data. Using the correlation coefficient (CC) between CEUS frames as metric of tissue motion, our motion correction strategy produced a 20% increase in the average CC from motion corrected frames compared to the data before correction (
