Assessing hardness to make things easy! Ultrasonography with elastographic evaluation of soft tissue tumours.
Article in Journal of ultrasound, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionSoft tissue tumours are a heterogeneous group of lesions. However, their diagnoses revolve around pathological evaluation with limited role of imaging. PURPOSE: 1. To non-invasively classify soft tissue tumours into benign and non-benign subtypes based on ultrasonography with use of shear wave elastography. 2. To study interobserver variation in elastographic evaluation of the soft tissue tumours. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn a prospective study, various soft tissue lesions in 51 study participants were sonographically assessed based on shape, margin, echogenicity, internal cystic areas and elasticity. These imaging characteristics were correlated with histopathological subtypes.
resultsBased on gray scale parameters, out of 36 histopathologically proven non-benign lesions, a total of 30 (83.33%) had lobulated/ irregular shape, 24 (66.67%) had ill-defined margins, 30 (83.33%) were heterogenous in echogenicity. The difference between the maximum and minimum elasticity values (E
