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
aimThe aim of this study was to assess the therapeutic effect of intraoperative radiotherapy, describe the method, and examine the occurrence of side effects and quality of life.
backgroundBreast conserving therapy has recently become a standard treatment modality in patients with early invasive cancer. Radiotherapy, along with surgery, is an integral part of such treatment. The important thing of radiotherapy is to deliver a high dose to the tumour bed. One of the methods is the intraoperative radiotherapy. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe analysis comprised sixty Tis-T2N0-1A breast cancer patients treated with breast conserving surgery. Patients' mean age was 57 years (range: 32-73 years). Intraoperative radiation therapy was delivered in the operating theatre during surgery and involved a single dose of 10 Gy with an electron beam of 4, 6, 9 or 12 MeV. After that, all patients were treated with whole breast irradiation. During one year observation photos and side effects examination were made.
resultsPhysical and imaging examinations performed during a one-year follow-up revealed no local or distant relapse and good tolerance of IORT. Acute mild responses to the radiotherapy occurred in 23.3% of patients. Based on the examination, a good and very good cosmetic effect was found in 78.3%, with 83.3% of patients evaluating their treatment effects in the same way.
conclusionsDue to its exceptional physical and radiobiological properties, intraoperative radiation therapy can be a good alternative to other methods of boosting dose to the post-operative site in management of low stage breast cancer, enabling a precise therapy to the tumour bed.
