Clinical application of boron neutron capture therapy for cancer treatment: A systematic review.
Review in Precision radiation oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) combines boron drug delivery and heavy-ion therapy. The key factors in the application of BNCT are high-quality neutron beams and boron-containing compounds. It can be used to treat gliomas, meningiomas, melanomas, and recurrent head and neck cancers. To promote the research and development of accelerator-based neutron sources, increase the tumor targeting capability of boron drugs, and improve BNCT efficacy in treating malignancies, this review provides an overview of the development of boron-containing compounds and the progress made in clinical studies using BNCT.
