Non-mass lesions on breast ultrasound: why does not the ACR BI-RADS breast ultrasound lexicon add the terminology?
Review in Journal of medical ultrasonics (2001), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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 definition of a non-mass lesion on breast ultrasound (US) is designed for everyday practice to provide unambiguous clinical management and to assist physicians and sonographers as they interpret breast US images. The field of breast imaging research requires consistent and standardized terminology for non-mass lesions identified on breast US, especially when differentiating benign from malignant lesions. Physicians and sonographers should be aware of the benefits and limitations of the terminology and use them precisely. I am hopeful that the next edition of the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) lexicon will include standardized terminology for describing non-mass lesions detected on breast US.
