No changes in myocardial perfusion following radiation therapy of left-sided breast cancer: A positron emission tomography study.
Article in Journal of nuclear cardiology : official publication of the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundAdjuvant radiation therapy (RT) for breast cancer has improved overall survival. However, incidental exposure of the heart has been linked to development of radiation-induced heart disease. The aim of this study was, in a cohort of asymptomatic post-irradiation breast cancer patients, to investigate changes in myocardial blood flow (MBF) and presence of perfusion defects in myocardial perfusion positron-emission-tomography (PET) in the irradiated myocardium. METHODS AND
resultsTwenty patients treated with RT for left-sided breast cancer underwent
conclusionAlthough limited by a small sample size, early signs of cardiac injury detected by NH
