Combining Radiotherapy and Immunotherapy in Metastatic Breast Cancer: Current Status and Future Directions.
Review in Biomedicines, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
The role of radiotherapy and immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) is of emerging interest in many solid tumours, including breast cancer. There is increasing evidence that the host's immune system plays an important role in influencing the response to treatment and prognosis in breast cancer. Several pre-clinical studies and clinical trials have reported on the 'abscopal effect-regression of distant untreated tumour sites, mediated by an immunological response following ionizing radiation to a targeted tumour site. Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy (SABR) is a non-invasive technique used to augment various immune responses with an ablative tumoricidal dose when compared to conventional radiotherapy. SABR is characterized by typically 1-5 precision radiotherapy treatments that simultaneously deliver a high dose, whilst sparing normal tissues. Following SABR, there is evidence of systemic immune activation in patients with increased PD1 expression on CD8
