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

Background: The study aimed to explore the tissue morphology and hemodynamics of rabbit VX2 breast carcinoma by high-frequency ultrasound (US) and the effectiveness and safety of US-guided percutaneous microwave coagulation (PMC) therapy on rabbit VX2 breast tumors. Methods: Twenty VX2 tumor-bearing rabbits were assessed using color Doppler ultrasound for tumor growth characteristics including echo, size, blood supply and hemodynamic parameters once a week for six weeks. Subsequently, US-guided PMC was performed in randomly assigned ten VX2 tumor-bearing rabbits (the other ten as controls). US images after ablation were obtained and analyzed. Three rabbits with double VX2 tumors were used as pathological observation at weeks 0, 1, and 4 of ablation. The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated by tumor growth, physical examinations, survival time, survival rate and metastasis of tumors and histopathology. Results: Ultrasound monitoring indicated that the tumor growth rate was 463.09% at the 2 Conclusion: The proliferation and metastasis of rabbit VX2 breast carcinoma were monitored by US imaging, and US-guided percutaneous microwave ablation was proven to be a safe, effective and minimally invasive therapeutic option for treating breast cancer in rabbits, showing potential clinical applicability.
