Review in JCO global oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05592938 (Partial Breast Re-irradiation Using Ultra Hypofractionation), which is not on this map. Cited by 62 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

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in Jordan and the third leading cause of cancer death after lung and colorectal cancers. Although the incidence of breast cancer in Jordan is lower than that in industrialized nations, the number of new cases has been significantly increasing, and women present with breast cancer at a younger age and with more advanced disease than women in Western countries. Jordan is a medium-income country with limited resources and a young population structure. Therefore, breast cancer poses a particularly challenging burden on the country's health care system. Despite ongoing endeavors to improve breast cancer care at both public and private levels, more work is needed to achieve downstaging of the disease and improve access, awareness, and participation in early detection. Multimodality treatment facilities and supportive care are available; however, the quality of care varies widely according to where the patient is treated, and most treatment facilities remain located centrally, thus, creating access difficulties. The King Hussein Cancer Center, the only comprehensive cancer center in Jordan, has changed the practice of oncology in the country via implementation of a multidisciplinary approach to treatment, monitoring of treatment outcomes, and investments in ongoing cancer research. However, there remains no national system for ensuring provision of high-quality cancer care nationwide. Here, we review the epidemiology of breast cancer and the current status of breast cancer care in Jordan, we compare our treatment outcomes with international ones, and we highlight challenges and improvement opportunities.
