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

objectiveChest pain and swelling are routinely reported in women after breast cancer treatment and are often not valued by health professionals. In general, these patients suffer and without many effective solutions. The aim of the present study was to report the results of a novel technique for the treatment of chest pain related to breast cancer treatment.

methodsA clinical trial was conducted involving 25 women with chest pain resulting from the treatment of breast cancer and submitted to treatment for lymphedema at the Godoy School in 2018. Godoy's intermittent dermal therapy was performed on the participants 2-4 h/day for 2 days until the occurrence of a significant improvement or complete resolution of pain (measured using the visual analog pain scale).

resultsAll patients reported a significant reduction in pain in the first ½ h of treatment (

conclusionChronic chest pain in patients having been submitted to treatment for breast cancer can be significantly reduced with Godoy's intermittent skin therapy, achieving standards of normality or near normality within only a few sessions.
