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

Linac-based stereotactic radiotherapy has little effect on the majority of advanced neoplasms. Therefore, the novel radiosensitizer Kochi oxydol-radiation therapy for unresectable carcinomas (KORTUC) II, which contains hydrogen peroxide and sodium hyaluronate, was developed. The effectiveness of KORTUC II for the treatment of chemotherapy-resistant supraclavicular lymph node metastases, recurrent breast cancer and stage IV primary breast cancer has previously been demonstrated. The present study evaluated the safety and efficacy of KORTUC II for patients with stage I primary breast cancer. A total of 15 patients (age range, 40-76 years) were enrolled. The injection of 3 ml of KORTUC II agent was initiated from the sixth radiotherapy fraction and was performed twice a week, under ultrasonographic guidance. The therapeutic effects were evaluated by PET-CT and/or MRI examinations prior to and following KORTUC II treatment. All patients exhibited complete responses and the overall survival rate was 100% after a follow-up period of five years. The mean duration of follow-up at the end of March 2015 was 53 months. Based on these results, KORTUC II treatment exhibited marked therapeutic effects with satisfactory treatment outcomes and an acceptable extent of adverse events.
