Radiation-induced morphoea in the setting of previous breast cancer: A case report.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Radiation-induced morphoea is an under-recognised complication of radiotherapy that can cause significant pain, functional impairment, and disfigurement. It is frequently misdiagnosed due to its non-specific presentation. We report the case of a 70-year-old female with prior right breast invasive ductal carcinoma, status post-lumpectomy, who developed painful cutaneous thickening and atrophy within the irradiated field 18 months after adjuvant radiotherapy. Malignant recurrence was excluded, and biopsy revealed dermal sclerosis with collagen thickening consistent with radiation-induced morphoea. Management included intralesional corticosteroid injections, regional nerve blocks, and physical therapy. Early recognition, biopsy, and multidisciplinary management are critical to improving patients' quality of life.
