Review in American journal of cancer research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04789889 (Comparison of Satisfaction With Conserved Breast, Postoperative Complications and Tumor Control Between IORT and Postoperative Radiotherapy in Breast Conserving Surgery), which is not on this map. Cited by 4 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

Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) is a practical and feasible alternative or an adjunct to whole-breast external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) for adjuvant treatment of breast cancer. A large number of experiments have proved IORT is non-inferior for treating early breast cancer due to its advantages, including precise radiotherapy, protection of healthy tissues and organs and sound cosmetic effects. IORT can use both electron beams and X-rays. Some aspects of the clinical use of IORT are still controversial, and extensive trails are ongoing. In this article, we review the published evidence and some ongoing clinical practice to introduce IORT in breast cancer treatment.
