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.

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.

Abstract

purposeTo explore whether tumor site, surgery type, and the different body mass index (BMI) of patients with breast cancer affect the positioning error.

methodsA retrospective study of 213 patients treated for breast cancer was binarily classified into groups based on the tumor site (left or right), surgery type (modified radical mastectomy, MRM and breast-conserving surgery, BCS) and BMI criterion (24 kg/m

resultsFor tumor site, significant differences were observed in the X, Y, R

conclusionFor breast cancer patients, the R
