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

Technical and methodical developments have changed radiation oncology substantially over the last 40 years. Modern imaging methods, e.g., computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), and ultrasound (US), have not only improved the detection of tumors but have also become tools for computed treatment planning. Megavoltage irradiation with accelerators using photons and electrons with large and small fields, intensity modulation (IMRT), image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT), stereotactic irradiation and radiosurgery, intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT), and modern remote controlled afterloading brachytherapy have made high precision radiotherapy increasingly possible. Hadron therapy has potential for further developments. Radiation oncology today is an interdisciplinary modality and increasingly considers interactions with new drugs and differentiated surgical methods. There is a strong need for comprehensive evaluation of the new methods and also for translational research in biology of tumors and normal tissue biology as well as in medical physics and techniques.
