Radiation Dermatitis and Pneumonitis in Patients Irradiated for Breast Cancer.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07149506 (Efficacy of Oral or Topical Catechins vs. Placebo as an Adjuvant for the Prevention and Management of Radiation Dermatitis in Oncology Patients), which is not on this map. Cited by 6 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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/
aimAdjuvant radiotherapy (RT) for breast cancer can be associated with acute dermatitis (ARD) and pneumonitis (RP). Prevalence and risk factors were characterized. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis study included 489 breast cancer patients receiving adjuvant RT with conventional fractionation (CF) ± sequential or simultaneous integrated boost, or hypo-fractionation ± sequential boost. RT-regimen and 15 characteristics were investigated for grade ≥2 ARD and RP.
resultsPrevalence of grade ≥2 ARD and RP was 25.3% and 2.5%, respectively. On univariate analyses, ARD was significantly associated with CF and radiation boost (p<0.0001), age ≤60 years (p=0.008), Ki-67 ≥15% (p=0.012), and systemic treatment (p=0.002). On multivariate analysis, RT-regimen (p<0.0001) and age (p=0.009) were associated with ARD. Chronic inflammatory disease was significantly associated with RP on univariate (p=0.007) and multivariate (p=0.016) analyses.
conclusionRisk factors for grade ≥2 ARD and RP were determined that may help identify patients who require closer monitoring during and after RT.
