Article in Cancer biotherapy & radiopharmaceuticals, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 25 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) has been performed at nuclear research reactors for many years. The development of accelerators for BNCT resulted in a paradigm shift from research to real clinical applications. In Japan, BNCT was approved as a clinical therapy covered by the National Health Insurance in 2020. In this article, the status of BNCT in Japan is briefly introduced.
