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
backgroundIn recent years, evidence has accumulated that a second method of conserving the breast from cancer with re-irradiation as part of treatment may be feasible and safe. Many oncologists are skeptical of breast re-irradiation due to concerns about late complications, so access to quantitative data on the prevalence of breast re-irradiation complications is very important. In this meta-analysis, we determine the prevalence of complications in normal tissue after breast re-irradiation. MATERIALS AND
methodsA search was done to recognize qualified studies using EMBASE, MEDLINE, PUBMED, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Collaboration Library electronic databases from 2000 to 2023. In total, ten primary studies were applied in this meta-analysis to estimate the prevalence of complications of disorders, skin fibrosis, and chest pain. Heterogeneity was investigated using the I
resultsThe average dose received by patients who underwent radiation therapy in two stages was 100.32 Gy, and in these patients, the prevalence of skin fibrosis and disorders was 47% (95% CI 71-22%; I
conclusionsThere is little clinical information about the incidence of complications in breast re-irradiation therapy. This meta-analysis presents the prevalence of complications after breast re-irradiation to help radiation oncologists and physicists make better decisions.
