Non-glandular findings on breast ultrasound. Part II: a pictorial review of chest wall lesions.
Review in Journal of ultrasound, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 breast ultrasound (US) field-of-view (FOV) includes glandular parenchyma as well as tissues located anterior to and posterior to it, up to pleural line. For that, it is possible to incidentally identify lesions unrelated to breast parenchyma during screening or diagnostic US; sometimes a palpable lump may be the reason of the imaging exam. Furthermore, abnormality related to chest wall are easier and more accurate detected after mastectomy. Hence, radiologists should know the US appearance of lesions which may develop from all tissues present in this region and displayed in the US FOV, without focusing only on glandular abnormalities while performing the exam. This is the second of a two-part series on non-glandular breast lesions; in detail, part two provide an overview of US appearance, differential diagnosis, and pitfalls of chest wall lesions. They may have an infectious, traumatic, inflammatory etiology or be benign or malignant neoplasms. The US role in the assessment of chest wall abnormalities is limited, usually computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance are requested as second-level imaging exams to characterize and to assess better their relationship with surrounding structures because of larger and panoramic view. Finally, US could be useful to guide biopsy.
