Hazards and risks in oncology: radiation oncology.
Review in GMS current topics in otorhinolaryngology, head and neck surgery, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Adverse effects and hazards which have their origin from radiation using conventional techniques like 3-D conformal radiotherapy and total radiation doses are well known. However little is known about the sprectum of especially late toxicity after radiation using new technologies like intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) combined with novel target volume and dose concepts. Since IMRT allows for selective protection of the large salivary glands this technique improves the intermediate term quality of life and is the standard of care despite many details need further prospective evaluation. Combining cytotoxic drugs and radiotherapy yield improved survival in well-defined high risk patients. However morbidity and mortality of these protocols are high and deserve special expertise and supportive therapy. EGF-receptor antibodies have gained well defined indications, albeit specific toxicities in combination with irradiation deserve prospective studies and special attention.
