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

Purpose: To describe the role of hadrontherapy (HT) in treating radioresistant, rare, recurrent, and radio-induced tumors, which can be defined, in assonance with the 4Rs of radiobiology, the "4Rs" of HT indications. Materials and Methods: This is a narrative review written by a multidisciplinary team consisting of radiation oncologists, radiobiologists, and physicists on the current literature on HT, particularly carbon ion radiation therapy. To refine HT indications within the context of the "4Rs" framework, we evaluated tumor histologies across different clinical indication settings and emphasized the radiobiological mechanisms contributing to the effectiveness of HT. Results: For rare, radioresistant, recurrent, and radio-induced tumors, HT has proven to be effective and safe, achieving high rates of local response with mild toxicity. The current review shows that the biological parameters can assist clinicians in identifying appropriate cases for HT treatment. Conclusion: Biological characteristics of the tumor support the administration of HT in radioresistant, rare, recurrent, and radio-induced tumors and should be considered during multidisciplinary discussions.
