Efficacy of the Dynamic Jaw Mode in Helical Tomotherapy With Static Ports for Breast Cancer.
Article in Technology in cancer research & treatment, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
The recently developed dynamic jaw technology of tomotherapy can reduce craniocaudal dose spread without much prolonging the treatment time. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of the dynamic jaw mode for tomotherapy of breast cancer. Static tomotherapy plans of the whole breast and supraclavicular regional lymph nodes, and plans for the whole breast only were generated in 25 patients with left-sided breast cancer. Plans with a field width of 2.5 or 5 cm with the dynamic or fixed jaw modes were made for each patient. The prescribed dose was 50 Gy in 25 fractions. In whole breast and supraclavicular nodal radiotherapy, dose distributions and homogeneity of the planning target volume (PTV) with the dynamic jaw mode were slightly inferior to those with the fixed jaw mode with a 5-cm field width (P < .05). However, lung low-dose volumes and mean doses of the larynx, thyroid, skin, and all the healthy tissues combined were smaller with the dynamic jaw mode than with the fixed jaw mode with a 5-cm field width (P < .001). In whole breast radiotherapy, mean doses of the skin and healthy tissues were lower with the dynamic jaw mode than with the fixed jaw mode with a 5-cm field width (P < .001) without significant differences in PTV dose distributions, homogeneity, and conformity. The dynamic jaw mode provided better sparing of organs at risks with minimal disturbance of dose-volume indices of PTV. Considering the treatment time, the 5-cm-field dynamic jaw mode is more efficient than the 2.5-cm fixed jaw mode.
