Dosimetric influence of photon beam energy and number of arcs on volumetric modulated arc therapy in carcinoma cervix: A planning study.
Article in Reports of practical oncology and radiotherapy : journal of Greatpoland Cancer Center in Poznan and Polish Society of Radiation Oncology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
aimAim of the present study was to compare the dosimetric impact of different photon beam energies and number of arcs in the treatment of carcinoma cervix.
backgroundCarcinoma cervix is a common cancer in women worldwide with a high morbidity rate. Radiotherapy is used to treat such tumours. Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) is considered superior to other techniques with multiple arcs and energies. MATERIALS AND
methodsTwenty patients with carcinoma cervix underwent radiotherapy in a prospective observation study conducted at our institute. Volumetric modulated arc plans with 6 MV, 10 MV and 15 MV photon energies using single arc (SA) and dual arc (DA) were generated. Several physical indices for planning target volume (PTV) like
resultsComparable dose coverage to PTV was observed for all the energies and arcs. CI for DA
conclusionsThe study showed no greater advantage of higher energy, and DA VMAT plan with 6 MV photon energy was a good choice of treatment for carcinoma cervix as it delivered a highly homogeneous and conformal plan with superior target coverage and better OAR sparing.
