Established and new horizons in radiotherapy for breast cancer.
Review in Therapeutic advances in medical oncology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Modern advances in diagnostics, surgery, systemic therapies, and radiotherapy (RT) have drastically revolutionized treatment strategies for breast cancer. This review outlines current and evolving treatment paradigms for RT in the breast-conserving therapy and post-mastectomy setting. In early-stage breast cancer, there is active investigation in expanding eligibility for omission of RT in women with more biologically favorable tumors and growing options to effectively irradiate less breast tissue and shorten RT treatment courses. For locally advanced breast cancer, we discuss several patient cohorts in which the necessity of post-mastectomy RT (PMRT) is commonly debated. Ongoing efforts to better refine indications for PMRT and evaluate the feasibility of hypofractionated PMRT are being studied. Metastasis-directed therapy with ablative RT is an emerging topic of interest in many cancers, including its role and impact in oligometastatic breast cancer. In this review, we will discuss the rationale for current standard of care and address in greater detail the aforementioned concepts.
