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

Following the groundbreaking discoveries of X-rays, radium, and radioactivity, Hungarian radiotherapy has a 130-year history. Initially, external beam irradiation was performed by radiologists, while radium therapy was performed by representatives of manual surgical professions. Oncoradiology, and later radiotherapy, became an independent medical discipline in 1970. In this summary, we review the history of Hungarian radiotherapy, whose continuous development was significantly slowed down by the two world wars, but the dedicated experts in the field of radiation oncology (including physicians and physicists) ensured that today Hungarian cancer patients have access to the most modern radiotherapy procedures without waiting lists. Of course, within the framework of the National Cancer Control Programme significant funding will be required in the coming period to maintain and develop human resources and radiotherapy equipment.
