Future Directions of Intraoperative Radiation Therapy: A Brief Review.
Review in Frontiers in oncology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The use of intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) is increasing with the development of new devices for patient treatment that allow irradiation without the need to move the patient from the surgical table. At the moment, ionizing radiation in the course of IORT is supported most often by the use of mobile devices that produce electrons, kilo voltage X-rays, and electronic brachytherapy and the development of applicators suitable for delivery of radionuclides for short-term brachytherapy. The establishment of new treatment devices and protocols that can be foreseen in the future, e.g., the development of proton or heavy ion sources suitable for IORT or the establishment of new treatment protocols such as the use of IORT in combination with immune system modulators or radiosensitizing nanoparticles, could lead to a significant increase in the use of IORT in the future. This review discusses the still limited use of IORT at this point in time and hypothesizes about possible future approaches to radiotherapy.
