Radiotherapy of Bone Metastasis in Breast Cancer Patients - Current Approaches.
Article in Breast care (Basel, Switzerland), 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
Bone metastases (BM) represent the most frequent indication for palliative radiotherapy in patients with breast cancer. BM increase the risk of skeletal-related events defined as pathological fractures, spinal cord compression, and, most frequently, bone pain. The therapeutic goals of palliative radiotherapy for BM are pain relief, recalcification, and stabilization, reducing spinal cord compression and minimizing the risk of paraplegia. In advanced tumor stages radiotherapy may also be used to alleviate symptoms of generalized bone metastasis. This requires an individual approach including factors, such as life expectancy and tumor progression at different sites. Side effects of radiation therapy of the middle and lower spine may include nausea and emesis requiring adequate antiemetic prophylaxis. Irradiation of large bone marrow areas may cause myelotoxicity making monitoring of blood cell counts mandatory. Radiotherapy is an effective tool in palliation treatment of BM and is part of an interdisciplinary approach. Preferred technique, targeting, and different dose schedules are described in the guidelines of the German Society for Radiooncology (DEGRO) which are also integrated in 2012 recommendations of the Working Group Gynecologic Oncology (AGO).
