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

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an important adverse effect of radiotherapy and is responsible for increased morbidity and mortality in long-term survivors with breast cancer. Patients may have pre-existing cardiovascular risk factors before treatment of breast cancer, and the effects of pre-existing cardiovascular risk factors can be compounded by radiotherapy. We report a case of left breast cancer in a 63-year-old female with a high risk of CVD who was suspected of having radiation-induced myocardium injury 1 year after postoperative adjuvant therapy. Radiation oncologists should not only reduce the adverse effects by perfecting radiotherapy technology but also consider reducing other high-risk factors for CVD.
