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

Objective: Local recurrence rate may show no significant differences between women aged 60 and older who receive breast-conserving surgery followed by radiotherapy and those in the same age group who undergo breast-conserving surgery without subsequent radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: Retrospective cohort study from a single practice with median follow-up time 44 months (interquartile range: 16, 82), comparing women older than 60 years old at diagnosis of breast cancer, treated with breast conserving surgery and either receiving or not receiving radiation therapy postoperatively. The primary endpoint was local recurrence difference between the two groups. Results: Local recurrence did not differ significantly between the two groups in terms of radiotherapy or not [odds ratio (OR) 0.96, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.89-1.02, Fisher's exact test Conclusion: Omission of radiotherapy in selected patients is not inferior to radiotherapy after breast conserving surgery in terms of preventing local recurrence.
