Article in The British journal of radiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07021846 (Hypofractionated Radiotherapy With Dose Escalated Concomitant Boost for Breast Cancer), which is not on this map. Cited by 3 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

methods: Patients with breast cancer with pathological stage pT

results: Three patients for each dose level were enrolled. No DLT occurred. The maximum toxicity collected during RT was G2 skin toxicity in 3 (33.3%) patients, one for each dose level. No G2 toxicity at 3 and 12 months was collected. At median follow up of 21.8 months (range: 13.5 - 40.9 months), no G2 late toxicity was recorded.

conclusion: The 3 week course of post-operative RT with dose escalation to the tumour bed to 52.5 Gy has been achieved without dose limiting toxicities and can be tested in Phase II trials. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE:: In our study, we tested the highest dose level to the tumour bed ever reported in studies using accelerated hypofractionation with concomitant boost in high risk patients.
