Diagnostic value of multimodal ultrasound imaging in triple-negative breast cancer.

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
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of multimodal ultrasound imaging in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Methods: Between January 2023 and January 2025, 274 breast cancers pathologically and molecularly confirmed were enrolled, comprising 88 TNBC and 186 non-TNBC cases. Conventional two-dimensional ultrasound, shear wave elastography, and superb microvascular imaging were performed before biopsy or surgery. Using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis, statistically significant variables were screened, and a nomogram was developed. Results: Multivariate analysis identified microcalcification, stiff rim sign, lesion shape, posterior attenuation, maximum elastic modulus, and vascular index as independent predictors of TNBC. The resulting nomogram demonstrated excellent diagnostic performance, with an area under the curve of 0.965, sensitivity of 0.849, and specificity of 0.966. The optimal diagnostic threshold for the nomogram in predicting TNBC was 0.798. Conclusions: Multimodal ultrasound is a highly effective tool for the preoperative diagnosis of TNBC.
