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

purposeTo report characteristics of our treatment scheme of high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy of breast cancer and to show the first outcomes of dosimetric planning analysis based on dose-volume histogram (DVH). MATERIAL AND

methodsSince August 2017, 25 patients diagnosed with T1N0M0 breast cancer have received a treatment in our center. There was lumpectomy and following breast HDR brachytherapy (10 fractions of 3.4 Gy) administered to each patient. A planning target volume (PTV) and organs at risk (OARs) were recorded with DVH analysis.

resultsThe study describes the full procedure of breast HDR brachytherapy with the lumpectomy. Twenty-five patients were treated, including 9 with cancer of the left breast and 16 of the right breast. The median age was 65 years. The first analysis of DVH data shows that the main OARs were ribs and skin. Mean value of D

conclusionsThis study is the first stage of the dosimetric evaluation of a new method. The analysis allows treating complex localizations of the breast cancer, for example, in a close position to the skin or ribs. In order to minimize the toxic effects, it is necessary to consider patient selection, catheter administration, and dose optimization.
