Image-guided focused ultrasound-mediated molecular delivery to breast cancer in an animal model.

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
Tumors become inoperable due to their size or location, making neoadjuvant chemotherapy the primary treatment. However, target tissue accumulation of anticancer agents is limited by the physical barriers of the tumor microenvironment. Low-intensity focused ultrasound (FUS) in combination with microbubble (MB) contrast agents can increase microvascular permeability and improve drug delivery to the target tissue after systemic administration. The goal of this research was to investigate image-guided FUS-mediated molecular delivery in volume space. Three-dimensional (3-D) FUS therapy functionality was implemented on a programmable ultrasound scanner (Vantage 256, Verasonics Inc.) equipped with a linear array for image guidance and a 128-element therapy transducer (HIFUPlex-06, Sonic Concepts). FUS treatment was performed on breast cancer-bearing female mice (
