Applications of new irradiation modalities in patients with lymphoma: Promises and uncertainties.
Article in World journal of radiology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
New highly conformal irradiation modalities have emerged for treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma. Helical tomotherapy offers both intensity-modulated irradiation and accurate patient positioning and was shown to significantly decrease radiation doses to the critical organs. Here we review some of the most promising applications of helical tomotherapy in Hodgkin disease. By decreasing doses to the heart or the breast, helical tomotherapy might decrease the risk of long-term cardiac toxicity or secondary breast cancers, which are major concerns in patients receiving chest radiotherapy. Other strategies, such as debulking radiotherapy prior to stem cell transplantation or total lymphoid irradiation may be clinically relevant. However, helical tomotherapy may also increase the volume of tissues that receive lower doses, which has been implicated in the carcinogenesis process. Prospective assessments of these new irradiation modalities of helical tomotherapy are required to confirm the potential benefits of highly conformal therapies applied to hematological malignancies.
