Overcoming the limitations of screening mammography in Japan and Korea: a paradigm shift to personalized breast cancer screening based on ultrasonography.
Article in Ultrasonography (Seoul, Korea), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Screening mammography programs have been implemented in numerous Western countries with the aim of reducing breast cancer mortality. However, despite over 20 years of population-based screening mammography, the mortality rates in Japan and Korea continue to rise. This may be due to the fact that screening mammography is not as effective for Japanese and Korean women, who often have dense breasts. This density decreases the sensitivity of mammography due to a masking effect. Therefore, the early detection of small invasive cancers requires more than just mammography, particularly for women in their 40s. This review discusses the limitations and challenges of screening mammography, as well as the keys to successful population-based breast cancer screening in Japan and Korea. This includes a focus on breast ultrasonography techniques, which are based on histopathologic anatomical knowledge, and personalized screening strategies that are based on risk assessments measured by glandular tissue components.
