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
A miniature electronic X-ray source was employed in this study to deliver intra-operative radiotherapy (IORT) within breast lesions. A flexible magnetic material was used to reduce breast skin radiation damage. Total prescribed dose was 20 Gy at balloon surface, with breast tumor bed wrapped around balloon applicator. A flexible magnetic material, called 'neodymium-iron boron' (NdFeB) + alloy-49 was applied to cover lesion's surface to preserve the skin and to reduce electron contamination raised from photon-induced low-energy electrons, with tissue less than 1 cm between applicator surface and breast skin. The reduction of electron contamination using NdFeB + alloy-49 with an applicator-skin distance of 20 mm, ranged from 7% to 10%, while with an applicator-skin distance of 10 mm for balloon volumes from 30 to 50 cm
