1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Before breast cancer surgery, sentinel lymph node (SLN) identification and biopsy using blue dye, radioisotope (RI) with a gamma probe, or a combination of the two are mainly performed. The dye-guided method requires skilled technique to make an incision in the skin and identify SLNs without damaging the lymphatic vessels. In addition, dye-induced anaphylactic shock has been reported. To use the γ-probe-guided method, the facility must be able to handle RI. However, to overcome the drawbacks of these methods, Omoto et al. developed a new identification modality using contrast-enhanced ultrasound with an ultrasound contrast agent (UCA) in 2002. Since then, many basic experiments and clinical studies using various UCA have been reported. In particular, a number of studies in SLN detection using Sonazoid have been reported and are herein reviewed.
