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

As the consequences of climate change have become increasingly evident and the environmental impact of cancer care continues to grow, there is a clear need for practice guidelines that integrate sustainability into the radiologic assessment and management of cancer. The use of imaging and image-guided procedures in cancer care has expanded substantially, contributing to improved patient outcomes, but also increased emissions and waste. This review examines the current environmental impact of cancer imaging and image-guided therapy, outlines a vision for sustainable cancer care, and proposes actionable steps to achieve a future that co-benefits patients and the planet.
