1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Irradiation-induced sarcomas are a late sequelae of irradiation therapy. Most sarcomas have been reported to occur after exposure to a radiation dose of 55 Gys and above, with a dose ranging from 16 Gys to 112 Gys. These tumours are very aggressive and an early detection is needed for a timely intervention. Surgery is only effective treatment for local control instead chemotherapy is a valuable tool for systemic control of disease. Irradiation therapy use is controversial because of its side effects on a site previously irradiated. Irradiation therapy combined with hyperthermia is a new treatment that overcomes these problems without limiting the effect of radiation therapy. It may become a tool for local control of the unresectable tumours or an adjuvant treatment of the surgery. In this report we present a rare case of irradiation-induced recurrent osteosarcoma involving the chest wall that was treated with surgical resection followed by radiation therapy combined with hyperthermia as an adjuvant treatment of the surgery.
