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

Background and Purpose: Acute radiation dermatitis (ARD) is a prevalent complication among breast cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. Fullerene possesses broad-spectrum free radical scavenging properties, which may be beneficial in mitigating oxidative stress. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of fullerene on both the incidence and severity of ARD in breast cancer patients. Methods: This study involved 88 breast cancer patients who met the inclusion criteria. Participants were randomly assigned to either the fullerene group or the control group in a 1:1 ratio. The primary endpoint was the grading of ARD and the cumulative dose of ionizing radiation at the first occurrence of ARD. Secondary endpoints included patient-reported symptoms, such as pain and quality of life (QoL). Results: The Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) score was significantly lower in the fullerene group than in the control group, and the cumulative dose of ionizing radiation at the first occurrence of ARD was higher. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups ( Conclusion: This trial indicated that fullerene could reduce the grading of ARD, delay the occurrence of ARD, alleviate patients' symptoms, and improve the patients' overall quality of life.
