Sonoelastography - A new paradigm in the characterization of breast lesions.
Article in Bioinformation, 2025. 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
The diagnostic performance of sonoelastography compared to conventional sonomammography in 136 patients with palpable breast lesions at L.G. Hospital, Ahmedabad is of interest. Hence, patients underwent B-mode ultrasound, mammography, and real-time elastography, with histopathology as the reference standard. Sonoelastography demonstrated higher specificity (90% vs. 60%), PPV (87% vs. 64%), and overall diagnostic accuracy (82%) compared with sonomammography, while maintaining comparable sensitivity (93.3%). The addition of elastography reclassified 30% of benign lesions correctly, reducing unnecessary biopsies and preserving 100% sensitivity in high-risk BIRADS categories. Thus, we show that sonoelastography is a valuable complementary tool to sonomammography in breast lesion characterization.
