Preoperative Radiation for Soft Tissue Sarcomas: How Much Is Needed?
Review in Current treatment options in oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
opinion statementPreoperative radiation therapy is an important component of curative treatment for extremity and superficial trunk soft tissue sarcomas. It has traditionally been delivered to a dose of 50 Gy in 2 Gy fractions over 5 weeks. With significant advances in the multidisciplinary approach to soft tissue sarcomas, preoperative radiation therapy may be omitted for certain cases, delivered over a shortened period of time (1-3 weeks), deintensified for myxoid liposarcomas, or combined with systemic therapy to improve the therapeutic ratio. This article reviews the innovative preoperative radiation therapy strategies currently used to treat extremity and superficial trunk soft tissue sarcomas.
