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

Modern radiotherapy techniques have enabled high focal doses of radiation to be delivered to patients with primary and secondary malignancies of the liver. The current clinical practice of radiation oncology has benefitted from decades of research that have informed how to achieve excellent local control and survival outcomes with minimal toxicities. Still, one of the most devastating consequences of radiation to the liver remains a challenge: radiation-induced liver disease (RILD). Here, we will review the current understanding of classic and nonclassic RILD from a clinical perspective, the evaluation and management of patients who are at risk of developing RILD, methods to reduce the likelihood of RILD using modern radiation techniques, and the diagnosis and treatment of radiation-related liver toxicities.
