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

Breast lesions that do not meet the criteria for a mass on ultrasound (US), analogous to asymmetry on mammography or nonmass enhancement on MRI, are frequently encountered during diagnostic or screening US. These lesions, referred to as nonmass lesions (NMLs), are discrete areas of altered echotexture compared to surrounding breast tissue, lacking the threedimensionality or conspicuity of a mass. Their subtle nature makes it difficult-particularly for less experienced US operators-to distinguish between benign and malignant NMLs. With increasing clinical recognition, the upcoming sixth edition of the American College of Radiology Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System may include NMLs as a distinct diagnostic category. This article illustrates the sonographic features of NMLs and their pathologic correlations, providing extensive representative examples across benign NMLs, benign NMLs with upgrade potential, and malignant NMLs. In addition, it offers a practical and structured guide for a diagnostic approach to aid clinical management.
