Three-dimensional conformal versus intensity modulated radiotherapy in breast cancer treatment: is necessary a medical reversal?
Article in La Radiologia medica, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
objectivesAim of the present study is to compare three-dimensional conformal RT (3D-CRT) and 4-fields intensity modulated radiation therapy (4f-IMRT) treatment plans, in terms of target dose coverage, integral dose and dose to Organs at risk (OARs) in early breast cancer (BC).
methodsTwenty consecutive BC patients, after lumpectomy, were selected for the present analysis. A total dose of 50 Gy and a simultaneous dose of 60 Gy in 25 fractions was prescribed to Planning Target Volume of the whole breast (PTV
resultsIn terms of HI, 4f-IMRT was superior to 3D-CRT for the PTV
conclusions4f-IMRT technique significantly reduced the dose to OARs and NT, with a better target coverage compared to 3D-CRT.
