Current advancements and future directions in contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in liver oncology: from quantification to theranostics.
Review in Polish journal of radiology, 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
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound has evolved into a precision supportive tool in managing liver oncology, particularly for hepatocellular carcinoma. It has moved beyond simple visual impressions to objective, quantitative data using dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound, perfusion curve analysis, and 3D-volumetric assessments. Furthermore, the integration of fusion imaging and artificial intelligence-driven pipelines has made ultrasound indispensable for guiding complex interventional procedures in real-time. In parallel, emerging technologies like targeted microbubbles and ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction are pushing the field toward molecular imaging and theranostics, turning ultrasound into an active participant in therapy. This review examines these clinical applications, takes a critical look at persistent hurdles, and identifies current research directions.
