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

purposeTo evaluate the role of multiparametric ultrasound (mpUS) in the characterization of focal breast lesions (FBLs).

methodsThis prospective study enrolled patients undergoing multiparametric breast ultrasound for FBLs. An experienced breast radiologist evaluated the following ultrasound features: US BI-RADS category, vascularization pattern (internal, vessels in rim and combined) and presence of penetrating vessels with each Doppler method (Color-Doppler, Power-Doppler, Microvascular imaging), strain ratio (SR) and Tsukuba score (TS) with Strain Elastography (SE), E

resultsA total of 139 FBLs were included with 75/139 (53.9%) benign and 64/139 (46.1%) malignant FBLs. Internal vascularization patterns (p < 0.001), penetrating vessels (p < 0.001), TS 4-5 (p < 0.001) and all 2D-SWE parameters (p < 0.001) were significantly different between benign and malignant FBLs. The BI-RADS score provided an AUC of 0.876 (95% CI 0.810-0.926) for the diagnosis of malignant FBLs. Among the 2D-SWE measurements, an excellent diagnostic performance was observed for E
