A review of MRI (CT)/US fusion imaging in treatment of breast cancer.
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 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 ultrasound fusion imaging system is a diagnostic device developed in Japan that utilizes ultrasound and magnetic positioning/navigation. A position sensor with a probe reads spatial location information from a magnetic field generator and by synchronously displaying ultrasound images and magnetic resonance (MR)/computed tomography (CT) images in real time. Lesions that are difficult to observe via ultrasonography alone, such as non-mass enhancement, can be identified. Furthermore, lesions that are difficult to identify with ultrasound alone indicated for MRI-guided biopsy under the National Health Insurance Scheme can be identified using ultrasound fusion technology, thereby enabling tissue biopsy to be performed under ultrasound guidance. Using this ultrasound fusion technology, not only non-mass enhancement but also small lesions that are difficult to identify using ultrasound alone can be detected, thus ensuring that a more accurate preoperative imaging diagnosis is established, and leading to safer, more reassuring examinations and surgical procedures. In this paper, we outline the use of this ultrasound fusion technology and fusion techniques in the treatment of breast cancer.
