Characteristics of high frame frequency contrast-enhanced ultrasound in renal tumors.
Article in BMC medical imaging, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectiveThis study aims to analyze the characteristics of high frame rate contrast-enhanced ultrasound (H-CEUS) in renal lesions and to improve the ability for differential diagnosis of renal tumors.
methodsA total of 140 patients with renal lesions underwent contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) examination in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University from July 2022 to July 2023. Based on the tumor pathology and the results of enhanced CT, tumor patients were divided into malignant and benign groups. All subjects were examined using gray-scale ultrasound, conventional contrast-enhanced ultrasound (C-CEUS), and H-CEUS, and their dynamic images were recorded. Two radiologists independently analyzed and recorded the results of ultrasound, C-CEUS, and H-CEUS images and statistically analyzed the features of C-CEUS and H-CEUS images. The independent sample t-test was used to compare the difference in age and maximum diameter of nodules between the benign and malignant groups. The χ
resultsThere were significant differences in gender (χ
conclusionIncreasing the frame rate of ultrasound images is helpful to accurately display the enhanced features and vascular morphology of renal tumors, especially for malignant tumors with a maximum diameter of ≤ 4.0 cm. Thus, H-CEUS can make up for the limitation of CEUS with regard to the display of vascular morphology.
