Role of Radiotherapy in Elderly Patients (≥65 Years) With Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Article in European journal of breast health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This is the first meta-analysis evaluating the benefit of adjuvant radiotherapy in older patients (≥65 years) with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). The medical literature was searched for all randomized controlled trials, nonrandomized controlled trials, and cohort studies with more than one treatment arm that evaluated radiation therapy for TNBC in patients aged >65 years. The primary outcome was overall survival. Four cohort studies (2015-2019) were eligible for analysis, including a total of 10,710 patients with TNBC of whom 7,209 underwent radiotherapy. Two were large retrospective population-based studies that yielded major findings on adjusted multivariable analysis. Patients who underwent radiotherapy (
