A systematic review: management of radiation-induced moist desquamation.
Review in Reports of practical oncology and radiotherapy : journal of Greatpoland Cancer Center in Poznan and Polish Society of Radiation Oncology, 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
Background: Radiotherapy is a cornerstone in cancer treatment, but is frequently correlated with acute cutaneous toxicity, particularly in patients with head, neck, and breast cancers. This systematic review evaluates the efficacy of interventions for managing grade III moist desquamation among various cancer patients receiving radiotherapy. Materials and methods: A total of 676 studies were screened, and 10 randomised controlled trials were analysed based on inclusion criteria. Results: Interventions such as Mepitel Film, boron-based gel, and 0.1% Mometasone Furoate demonstrated significant efficacy in reducing the incidence and severity of moist desquamation compared to standard creams or placebo. Hydroactive colloid gels and aloe vera showed promise in alleviating symptoms and improving treatment adherence. Betamethasone effectively reduced grade 2 dermatitis but limitedly impacted severe grade 3 reactions. Conclusions: The findings highlight the importance of tailoring interventions to individual patient needs and emphasize the need for further studies to validate treatments, explore long-term outcomes, and improve patient quality of life during radiotherapy.
