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

The Breast Cancer Clinical Practice Guidelines, organized by the Japanese Breast Cancer Society (JBCS), were published in 2022. We present the English version of the Radiation Therapy (RT) section of the guidelines. The JBCS formed a task force to update the 2018 version of the JBCS Clinical Practice Guidelines. The Background Questions (BQs) contain the standard treatments for breast cancer in clinical practice, whereas the Clinical Questions (CQs) address daily clinical questions that remain controversial. Future Research Questions (FRQs) explore the subjects that are considered important issues, despite there being insufficient data for inclusion as CQs. The task force selected the 12 BQs, 8 CQs, and 6 FRQs for the RT section. For each CQ, systematic literature reviews and meta-analyses were conducted according to the Minds Manual for Guideline Development 2020, version 3.0. The recommendations, strength of recommendation, and strength of evidence for each CQ were determined based on systematic reviews and meta-analyses, and finalized by voting at the recommendation decision meeting.
