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

Breast-conserving surgery (BCS) with radiotherapy is a standard treatment for early-stage breast cancer, offering survival outcomes equivalent to mastectomy while preserving breast appearance and improving quality of life. However, BCS suitability and effectiveness vary notably among patients due to differences in age, comorbidities, tumor biology, breast anatomy and psychosocial factors. Through a systematic review, the present study identified six patient subgroups that may derive limited benefit from BCS followed by radiotherapy. These constituted the elderly with multiple comorbidities, those with ductal carcinoma
