Management of patients with implanted cardiac devices during radiotherapy: results of a Spanish survey in radiation oncology departments.
Article in Clinical & translational oncology : official publication of the Federation of Spanish Oncology Societies and of the National Cancer Institute of Mexico, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundThere is an increasing number of patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED), either pacemakers or defibrillators, who are receiving a course of radiotherapy. Several guidelines have been published by national societies, but no Spanish national guidelines for management of these patients have been published. More importantly, national clinical practice regarding these patients is not standardised. MATERIALS AND
methodsMembers of the Spanish Breast Cancer Radiation Oncology Group (GEORM in Spanish) were surveyed through an online questionnaire on behalf of the Spanish radiation oncology departments.
resultsOnly 39.3% of the Spanish radiation oncology departments have policies aimed at CIED carrier patients. Regardless of that, 96.4% of those who responded to the survey refer these patients to their Cardiology department before the start of the course of radiotherapy, and 17.8% of respondents said to manipulate the CIED without any cardiology department direction. A wide range of responses was obtained related to concepts such as "distance from the irradiation field to the CIED" or "safe accumulated doses".
conclusionsOur results demonstrate the need for national guidelines for CIED patients and the need to promote educational activities addressed to standardise clinical management of these patients in the radiation oncology departments.
