Ultrasound in Skin Cancer: Why, How, and When to Use It?
Review in Cancers, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
backgroundSkin cancer is the most common cancer in human beings. Ultrasound is a powerful and non-invasive imaging technique that has expanded its use in dermatology, including in the skin cancer field. The full range of critical anatomical information provided by ultrasound cannot be deduced from a naked eye examination, palpation, or other imaging techniques such as dermoscopy, confocal microscopy, magnetic resonance imaging, or PET-CT (Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography).
methodsThis review practically analyzes the main ultrasonographic features of the most common types of skin cancers and the performance of the locoregional staging according to the literature, which is illustrated by state-of-the-art clinical and ultrasonographic correlations.
resultsThe most common types of skin cancer show recognizable ultrasonographic patterns.
conclusionsAmong the current radiological imaging techniques, ultrasound has the highest axial spatial resolution. Compared to other imaging techniques used in dermatology, it shows the great advantage of penetrating the soft tissues thoroughly, which allows us to detect and identify the most common skin types of skin cancer, including both the primary tumor and its locoregional metastases.
