Acute skin radiation toxicity seen with concurrent T-DM1: A single institutional report of 35 patients.
Article in Breast (Edinburgh, Scotland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) is a novel therapeutic for HER2+ breast cancer patients with residual disease after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Concurrent radiotherapy (RT) is offered to a subset of patients based on results from the KATHERINE trial which showed a favorable safety profile. With emerging therapies that necessitate concurrent RT, we must closely follow rates of skin toxicity. Our first 35 patients who underwent concurrent T-DM1 treatment with breast/chest wall (CW) ± nodal irradiation are reported. Most patients (22/35) had grade 2+ toxicity and 3 patients had grade 3 toxicities. We add our experience with radiation dermatitis and concurrent T-DM1 to contribute to existing reports.
