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

Aim: To evaluate the impact of Ialuril soft Gels Material and Methods: The data of 305 patients were retrospectively collected. One hundred and five patients underwent adjuvant radiotherapy (aRT), while 200 a salvage treatment (sRT). GU toxicity was evaluated according to CTCAE v5.0. Every patient received RT combined with HA. Results: Grade 1-2 GU toxicity during RT was represented by: urgency (36%), dysuria (23%), increased urinary frequency (12.1%), and urinary retention (11.8%). Nevertheless, the majority of symptoms were present at the baseline. Grade 3 severe toxicity was represented by 10 (3.2%) cases of incontinence and 3 (1%) cases of urgency. The incidence of any-grade RT-related GU toxicity was significantly higher in the aRT group than the salvage group (esRT + sRT) (83.8% versus 64.5%). When comparing the incidence of any-grade RT-related GU toxicity in the aRT, esRT, and sRT groups we observed a significant correlation favoring sRT, over esRT, and aRT. Conclusion: Postoperative hypofractionated radiotherapy is safe and not correlated with increase of unexpected toxicity when administered with oral hyaluronic acid. A prospective study is necessary to confirm these results.
