The Efficacy of Low-Kilovoltage X-Rays Intraoperative Radiation as Boost for Breast Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

<div>Predicted the 5-year local recurrence rate using the Poisson regression model. Each blue circle represents one study. (a) The estimated 5-year recurrence rate (orange triangle) with 11 non-NAT literature studies using the Poisson regression model is 2.66% (95% CI: 0% to 12.80%). (b) The estimated 5-year recurrence rate (orange triangle) with all 13 literature studies using the Poisson regression model is 3.45% (95% CI: 0% to 14.30%).</div>
