The Effects of Radiation Therapy on the Ocular Apparatus: Implications for Management.
Review in Cancers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Radiotherapy is utilized in the treatment of various cancers of the central nervous system and head and neck. Given the high concentration of organs-at-risk in this region, care must be exercised to minimize the dose delivered to these structures. Studies have shown that excessive radiation exposure can adversely impact the eyes, potentially resulting in the loss of their function. For instance, radiation doses greater than 50 Gy have been shown to increase the incidence of retinopathy, and radiation doses as low as 0.5 Gy have been shown to induce cataract formation. In this review, we discuss the ocular complications of radiotherapy used in the treatment of cancers of the central nervous system and head and neck. We then transition to potential strategies to spare the eyes during radiotherapy in an effort to reduce the rates and severity of ocular complications and preserve vision.
