Very Low Internal Echoes With Enhanced Posterior Echoes Suggest the Aggressive Nature of Expanding Ovoid Breast Cancers: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
A 40-year-old woman with a left breast mass was referred to our hospital. Mammography showed only a mass shadow. An ultrasound showed a 30mm oval mass with distinct borders, focal cystic parts, enhanced posterior echoes, and very low internal echoes. Magnetic resonance images showed that the tumor had mixed hypo- and hyper-intense areas both on T1- and fat-suppressed T2-weighted images. In addition, time-signal intensity images showed a washout pattern in the solid part of the tumor. A vacuum-assisted biopsy of the mass showed highly atypical cells growing in a solid fashion. The patient, therefore, underwent breast-conserving surgery and sentinel node biopsy. A post-operative pathological study showed that the tumor had a solid growth pattern, intra-tumoral bleeding, a triple-negative phenotype, a nuclear grade of 3, and a Ki-67 labeling index of 90%. Very low internal echo areas were consistent with the proliferative areas of poorly differentiated cancer cells. In conclusion, tumors should be highly aggressive when they have expanding ovoid shapes, enhanced posterior echoes, and very low internal echoes.
