Advances in Ultrasound-Targeted Microbubble Destruction (UTMD) for Breast Cancer Therapy.
Review in International journal of nanomedicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in women worldwide and is a leading cause of cancer deaths among women. As a result, various treatments have been developed to combat this disease. Breast cancer treatment varies based on its stage and type of pathology. Among the therapeutic options, ultrasound has been employed to assist in the treatment of breast cancer, including radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted immunotherapy, hormonal therapy, and, more recently, radiofrequency ablation for early-stage and inoperable patients. One notable advancement is ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD), which is gradually becoming a highly effective and non-invasive anti-tumor modality. This technique can enhance chemical, genetic, immune, and anti-vascular therapies through its physical and biological effects. Specifically, UTMD improves drug transfer efficiency and destroys tumor neovascularization while reducing toxic side effects on the body during tumor treatment. Given these developments, the application of ultrasound-assisted therapy to breast cancer has gained significant attention from research scholars. In this review, we will discuss the development of various therapeutic modalities for breast cancer and, importantly, highlight the application of ultrasound microbubble-targeted disruption techniques in breast cancer treatment.
