The role of radiotherapy in the management of nodal disease in breast cancer.
Review in Reports of practical oncology and radiotherapy : journal of Greatpoland Cancer Center in Poznan and Polish Society of Radiation 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
The management of nodal disease in breast cancer has evolved over the last two decades. With minimalist surgical approaches for early breast cancers becoming commonplace, the question of whether radiation can replace surgery to reduce morbidity is an important question in this population, as decision making has become more complex. In more advanced disease, and in patients with significant high-risk clinical and/or pathological features, the dilemma of who should receive regional nodal irradiation has been addressed in large studies but remains controversial. In this article, we summarise and discuss the recent trials which guide modern clinical practice, as well as some of the ongoing studies which aim to address outstanding questions within the field.
